What is new

In August 2021 we will be moving to the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Plant Physiology, in Potsdam-Golm.

We will be joining the recently established Department of Plant Reproductive Biology and Epigenetics.

Stay tuned for this new adventure!

Ana joined us as a postdoc to work on seed biology of basal angiosperms. And she was awarded a prestigious Humboldt fellowship for her stay here. Congrats Ana!

Rita is a new PhD student in our group. She will be working on non-autonomous cell signalling during seed development in Arabidopsis. More details here.

Rishabh is a new PhD student in the group, starting in August 2019. He will be working on the hormonal and epigenetic regulation of seed development in Arabidopsis. More info on his page here.

Great news! Duarte just received his first research grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG). The project is entitled “Epigenetic reprogramming and non-cell autonomous communication as mechanisms of seed formation“. News about positions will be posted soon here.
