Interview with the Guest Editor – Jenny Russinova

Jenny Russinova graduated in biotechnology from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria, and subsequently obtained her PhD at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, where she worked on gene expression in plant embryogenesis. Jenny then moved to the Netherlands to do her post-doctoral studies at Wageningen University, Wageningen, in the laboratory of Sacco de Vries. There, she worked on cellular regulation, mechanisms and localization of plant receptor-like kinases. In 2006, she started her own research group at the Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB) at Ghent University, Belgium, focusing on brassinosteroid signaling regulation in plants. Jenny is the Guest Editor for the 2018 plant cell biology Special Issue in Journal of Cell Science.
