I am interested in host-microbe interactions in seagrasses and macroalgae. For this purpose, I use a systems biology approach combining manipulative experiments, ‘culturomics’, ‘multi-omics’ and modelling.

Molecular biologist in Task 1.4
I am interested in the use of novel, state-of-the-art DNA sequencing techniques, such as Nanopore sequencing, to study host-microbe interactions in different organisms, such as seaweeds, seagrasses, and insects.
