Carla António
Since August 2013, Carla Antonio is the Head of the Plant Metabolomics Laboratory at ITQB Nova. Her work is based on the development of MS-based analytical methods to investigate at the central metabolism level plant responses to abiotic stress. No single analytical platform can cover the whole plant metabolome; therefore she combines a range of Mass Spectrometry-based technologies (LC-MS/MS, GC-TOF-MS, stable-isotope labeling flux analysis) for better understanding of metabolite profiles.
