Chromatin & Memory

 

Research Overview

I’m interested in the chromatin changes associated with pathogen stress in plants, and how these changes affect transcription to facilitate immune responses. Armed with this knowledge, I perform epigenome engineering to boost plant immunity in naïve plants.
