Dr. Gigi Allam is a plant molecular biologist with expertise in biotechnology, functional genomics, molecular genetics, and plant stress physiology. She earned her Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from Western University in partnership with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). Her research integrates molecular biology, genomics, metabolomics, and tissue culture to investigate gene regulatory networks controlling plant development and responses to environmental stresses. Dr. Allam's long-term goal is to develop innovative strategies for crop improvement and sustainable agriculture. She is currently seeking postdoctoral opportunities in plant biotechnology, gene editing, functional genomics, and crop resilience.
