I work as a senior researcher in the field of plant cell biology and tissue culture at Bejo. I work on the development and application of methods that can accelerate, supplement or support the breeding process.In my doctoral and postdoctoral research, I used advanced laser microscopy and microinjection techniques together with molecular and biophysical tools to investigate the role of the cytoskeleton in plant cell growth and division. Next to my research, I taught cell biology and advanced microscopy to BSc and MSc students.As an experienced and creative scientist and teacher, I value teamwork, innovative research and good education.Specialties: microscopy; microinjection; cell and tissue culturing; protoplast regeneration; transformation; GPF markers; image analysis; microgravity research; cytoskeleton; university teaching
