Development of genetic tools in the actinobacteria Frankia and identification of key signal molecules or natural products involved in the Frankia – actinorhizal plant symbiosis- Edited Frankia genome by using CRISPR-Cas9 technique with a stable transformation- Settled a bioassay based on transgenic plants to identify active signal molecules - Purified and Characterized the structure of natural products by High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) following by Mass spectrophotometry (LC/MS/MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)- Collaborated with 3 specialists to analyze data and formulate hypothesis- Mentored and supervised three students in all phases of development of this project- Isolation and identification of 10 bacterial strains isolated from Alder nodules in NH
