Pathway to Independence – an interview with Martina Cerise

Martina Cerise is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of George Coupland at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany. She is interested in using different plant organisms to understand the floral transition, which helps define plant architecture, and leads to fruit and seed production. Martina is one of the 2024 fellows of the Pathway to Independence Programme. We caught up with Martina to find out more about her research interests, her passion for science outreach and her plans as an independent group leader.
