About me:

The IBG-4 (Bioinformatics) division of the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences develops and applies methods and algorithms to achieve a fundamental understanding of high-dimensional data and processes in the bioeconomy/life sciences and to understand, predict and optimize the biological functions of molecules, genes and enzymes for breeding and for industrial and pharmaceutical applications, also on the basis of their structures. IBG-4 has a focus on omics/data-based bioinformatics on plant data storage, the evaluation of new genome analysis methods, and the integration, interpretation, and visualization of high-dimensional omics data from the field of bioeconomy and plant science.

I am a biologist with a major interest in the bioeconomic utilization of plants for food and for an extraction of valuable plant special metabolites. My research focuses on the plant’s reaction to abiotic, environmental stresses and the fascinating ability of plants to withstand such stresses by molecular tolerance responses and also by stress memory. In my group Quantitative Bioeconomy, we use phenotyping technologies to quantify plants stress responses and we use methods for the quantification of plants special metabolites and their accumulation due to abiotic stresses. Gene expression studies support the elucidation of the mechanisms of stress reactions and the identification of special metabolites biosynthesis genes. Aiming for a sustainable food production we evaluate the utilizisation of horti-/or agricultural side-streams for the extraction of special metabolites.
