Enrico Costanzo is a graduate student at the Molecular, Integrative, and Cellular Biology Doctoral School (ED BMIC) at the University of Lyon, and is studying on the agrobiodiversity doctoral program at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa. His research has mainly concerned plant biology and biotechnology, but has also involved functional genomics in animal models. Enrico’s previous projects include studies of the expression of the human enzyme alpha-galactosidase A in the plant species Arabidopsis thaliana (this enzyme is needed for the treatment of a rare human disease: Fabry disease), and the role of nuclear receptors during lipogenesis. From 2011 onwards, he has focused his attention on the role of WOX genes in flower development, using the species Arabidopsis thaliana and Petunia x hybrida. Enrico is currently involved in resource-related projects at the Michel Serres Institute in Lyon, where, for example, he is setting up a new kind of resource-related award that is intended to push the awardees to improve their approach to natural resources.
