Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Alessia Guggisberg. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
After completing a biology degree at the University of Neuchâtel in 2002, Alessia Guggisberg pursued her PhD at the University of Zurich, obtaining her degree in 2008. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Rieseberg Lab at the University of British Columbia and later joined the Widmer Lab at ETH Zurich in 2012. Her research primarily focuses on the evolutionary relationships among diploids and polyploids in the genus Murbeckiella (Brassicaceae). Notably, her studies have shown the polyphyly and paraphyly of the genus, suggesting the need for a comprehensive taxonomic revision, and have raised awareness about the conservation of the geographically restricted taxon Murbeckiella omissa in France. She serves as a Curator at the Institute of Integrative Biology at ETH Zurich since 2016, and has extensive involvement in digitization projects for herbarium collections, significantly enhancing their accessibility and research potential.
