Research interests
The immune system of living organisms is one of natures amazing inventions – and so are the strategies of pathogens to overcome it. Ever since I heard about the immune system of plants and the strategies of plant pathogens to outwit these barriers I was fascinated and wanted to learn more about it.
In the Stukenbrock lab I am studying the responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum) to infection by the specialized wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici as well as unspecialized plant pathogens using phenotypic as well as molecular and biochemical assays. My approach involves wheat cultivars of differential susceptibilities and different fungal and bacterial pathogen isolates and mutant strains, giving me the opportunity to look deeper into the underlying mechanisms of infection also on a genetic level.
