My research interest lies in plant hormone signalling and how plants (despite being sessile) thrive under various environmental circumstances. Currently, I am exploring the transcriptomics and interactomics of DELLAs in specific root cell types of Arabidopsis, in response to different conditions. My goal is to elucidate how DELLAs are able to elicit specific biological responses in plants, using a more fine-tuned approach involving modern sequencing technologies, computational and bioinformatics analyses, and molecular genetics.
