In the face of a global climate crisis and food insecurity, the development of plants possessing greater resistance to pathogen infection is essential. This requires a deeper understanding of how plant immune responses are regulated and maintained over time. My PhD explores the epigenetic mechanisms underlying immune responses and the formation of immunological memory in plants. Additionally, my research examines how advances in computational protein design can be used to engineer enhanced disease resistance in plants.
