BIO
Regina Visconti grew up in Connecticut and was given the opportunity to study an agricultural curriculum in high school. She received a BS in biochemistry from the University of Tampa. She is currently a PhD candidate enrolled in the Cellular, Molecular and Biomedical Sciences program through UVM's Plant Biology Department. Her interest is in minimizing the effects of food insecurity and approaches this using the model organism Arabidopsis to study root and root hair growth. Regina was awarded the FSRC fellowship for the 2024-2025 academic year and is excited to contribute to the understanding of food systems.
