I am a Group Leader at The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL) in Norwich, UK. I completed Ph.D. in 2019 in the group of Kenichi Tsuda at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany. I then joined the lab of Joe Ecker at the Salk Institute in San Diego, California, as a Human Frontier Science Program Long-term Fellow before joining TSL in 2024.
My lab aims to understand molecular and spatiotemporal characteristics of cells comprising the holobiont (the collective entity of the host and surrounding microbes) by developing and incorporating new genomics and imaging technologies tailored for studying plant-microbe interactions.
