About

As a molecular biologist and genetic engineer specializing in forest trees such as poplar, my research is dedicated to pioneering pathway genetic engineering through the CRISPR-Cas system. I focus on discovering and manipulating new and potential genetic cascades to enhance plant resilience and performance. By optimizing both on-target and off-target effects, I aim to achieve precise genetic modifications that unlock novel pathways involved in biotic and abiotic stress responses, growth, and development. My approach integrates advanced techniques in proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and post-transcriptional regulation, enabling a comprehensive exploration of genetic networks that drive innovation in forest tree improvement.
