Research
I have always been fascinated by the unique abilities of carnivorous plants, such as prey perception and digestion. My PhD project focuses on deciphering the molecular mechanosensing mechanisms of Dionaea muscipula (the Venus flytrap) by combining electrophysiology and molecular biology techniques together with computational biology tools.
