I have a background in the isolation and identification of bacterial secondary metabolites. My work will focus on function of Pseudomonas cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) in plant-microbe interactions under real soil conditions. Specifically, the impact of CLP production on the bacterial colonization potential and microbiome assembly of plant roots. To unravel the molecular induction of plant-beneficial CLP production in natural rhizosphere environments.
