BIO
Idan Tuval (Petah Tikvah, Israel, 1976) is a Ramón y Cajal researcher at Universidad de las Islas Baleares.
He has a PhD in Physics and in recent years his research has focused on the use of this discipline to tackle problems related to the life sciences.
PROJECT
His project will investigate how plants use light to regulate their cell cycle and perform photosynthesis, a process that is carried out through complex and little-known mechanisms.
For the first time at the level of an individual cell, Tuval will quantify a multiple set of data on how the green biflagellate microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (the most studied single-cell mobile photosynthetic microorganism) use light.
