Research Interests

Welcome to our lab, where we specialize in studying plant-bacteria interactions with a particular focus on fastidious prokaryotes, bacterial outer membrane vesicles, and disease epidemiology. Our research aims to unravel the complex mechanisms underlying these interactions, providing insights into pathogen behavior, plant defense strategies, and the spread of plant diseases. By investigating these elusive microorganisms, we aim to develop innovative strategies for disease management and to enhance crop resilience.
