About

Our lab studies differential gene expression and regulation induced by environmental stresses in plants. We also have an interest in epigenetic mechanisms associated with plant centromere function and epigenomics of potato and other crop species. We constantly work on using cutting-edge technology to not only advance our understanding of regulatory mechanisms but also focus on real-world applications.
