Research statement:
Research Interests: How do cells decide to live or die? What is the molecular signal, and which proteins are responsible for making life changing decisions? These are questions that I constantly ask myself in my research. I am broadly interested in the molecular mechanisms that drive cell fate. In turn these findings may lead to identifying biotechnological solutions aimed at developing stress resistance crops and build upon existing knowledge of fundamental questions focused on cellular signaling and cell death in both humans and plants.
