Researcher

Research Interests / Job description
The Ibdah lab employs biochemical, molecular and genomic tools to elucidate the biosynthetic pathways that produce novel and important plant specialized metabolites in aromatic plants, to uncover the mechanisms responsible for the evolution of these pathways in the plant kingdom and to understand the function of a given natural product in the biology and physiology of a given plant species.

"Studying the Biological Function and the Biosynthesis of the Specialized Metabolites"


We are looking for postdoctoral/PhD/MSc students in plant biochemistry

I have a dream that little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin and their religion, but by the content of their character.
