Research Interests

I am interested in the molecular mechanisms that mediate the interaction of multicellular cyanobacteria with the environment, with a particular focus on the role of the translation machinery. I am also interested in the role of the accessory genome in acclimation to environmental conditions and its short-, medium-, and long-term evolution
