My goal is to develop plants for safe, productive agriculture in future environments. I'm passionate about genetics and breeding technologies, epigenetic adaptation to stress response and high-throughput phenotyping. I am always keen to collaborate with, learn from, and train others with similar interests. Our work with grapevine, the world's oldest domesticated fruit crop, gives us a unique insight into somatic variation and epigenetic adaptation. Thanks to a small genome, grapevine is a useful host to develop and test methods that are harder to apply in other crops.
