Transcriptional regulation, Genome editing, Bioinformatics

I am focusing on the study of plant cell wall formation including secondary and primary cell walls. Plant cell walls are world largest terrestrial biomass and key for bioeconomy society. I also study the transcription factors in plant, which regulate gene expression related to many biological phenomena including cell wall formation, environmental stress responses and others.
