BIO

I'm working on the mechanisms that underly the interaction between plants, and their biotic and abiotic environment. I'm utilizing a broad set of tools from molecular biology, biochemistry, analytical chemistry (especially HPLC & LC-MS) and field ecology. In particular, I'm interested in the role of phytohormones, as well as primary and secondary metabolites.
