Research Interests
I specialize in the regulation of gene expression in plant roots. My research integrates
genomics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics to understand how transcriptional
networks control root development and response to environmental stress. By dissecting
these complex regulatory pathways, I aim to uncover the mechanisms that enable
plants to adapt to changing conditions, contributing to advancements in agricultural
biotechnology and crop improvement. My work is pivotal in developing resilient plant
varieties for sustainable agriculture.
