Summary
I am an academic interested in deciphering the molecular interactions between plants and their associated microbial communities (collectively referred to as the plant microbiota). Similar to the microbiota inhabiting the digestive tract of humans, the plant microbiota modulates the growth, development and health of its host organisms. Therefore, plant-microbiota interactions define a research field with great potential for discovery both in basic and applied science. To study the plant microbiota, my research group uses a broad range of experimental and computational approaches at the cross-roads of different disciplines such as molecular microbiology, plant genetics and bioinformatics. My long-term ambition is to tap into the knowledge we generate to sustainably enhance global food security.
