Helena Marcon

I am Biologist that passioned for Molecular Genetics and entrepreneur for communicating about Science. As a Self-employed Consultant, I have the experience to establish stakeholders relations and propound strategies and I am a columnist in the Agronerd website. Previously, I was a Professor and I was responsible for Genetics, Genetic Improvement, Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineer, Biotechnology and Evolution classes. Fascinated by Plant genetics, I proposed a Ph.D. In Plant Biotechnology at Universidade Estadual de São Paulo where I developed strategies in genomic characterization, molecular markers development, quantification and gene expression from transposons. As a post-doc, I characterized transposons elements at coffee genome for development of specific molecular markers. I acquire experience in Genetics, especially in Biotechnology and Molecular Biology of Plants, and so molecular characterization, plants genetics, molecular markers development, genetic transformation, quantification and relative expression of genomic compounds. I am now improving as statical analyses with R software. Open to immediate relocation.
