Mukesh K. Meena, a postdoctoral researcher in Debora Gasperini’s lab, was awarded a prestigious Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship.
The highly competitive grant is part of the Horizon 2020, the EU’s framework programme for research and innovation awarded to outstanding post-doctoral researchers. The fellowships aim to equip researchers with the necessary skills and international experience for a successful career. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions have set the benchmark for attracting and retaining the most talented researchers. These opportunities are decisive because they give researchers the freedom to work in any field or indeed to combine disciplines. This means they can help meet the challenges facing society, both today and tomorrow.
Mukesh K. Meena studies jasmonate-mediated signalling and has long standing interests in plant defense responses. Before joining the IPB in December 2018, he completed his PhD and first postdoc at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research in New Delhi (India).
We congratulate Mukesh and wish him all the best with his work!
