Laila Moubayidin

Laila Moubayidin is an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical, Life, and Environmental Sustainability Sciences, University of Parma. She teaches courses in Molecular Plant Physiology and Plant-based Sustainable Materials within Second Cycle Degree programs (A.Y. 2024/2025 and 2025/2026). Her research focuses on plant developmental biology, particularly the molecular mechanisms governing floral organ symmetry and style development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Her work explores:

• Transcription factor regulation (e.g., SPATULA)
• Auxin and hormone signaling pathways
• O-glycosylation in protein function
• Feed-forward gene networks
• Cell elongation in plant morphology
• Sustainable materials from plant-based systems

Recent publications analyze Arabidopsis style development through genetic, biochemical, and systems biology approaches, emphasizing transcriptional and post-translational regulatory mechanisms. While no scientific awards are listed in the provided data, her collaborative research involves international institutions and interdisciplinary methodologies.
