Our Mission

Biological assemblies—from macromolecular complexes to supramolecular protein polymers and phase-separated biomolecular condensates—are dynamic, multicomponent structures that decode, execute, and sustain the genetic blueprint of life encoded in DNA. Their intricate interactions and coordinated roles underpin every biological process and are vital to the health of plants and animals alike. Our lab integrates diverse disciplines to unravel the molecular mechanisms and biochemical patyways driving the formation and function of these assemblies across life’s kingdoms. By exploring nature at its finest scales, we aim to illuminate the principles that sustain life—especially in plants—understand how organisms adapt to diverse conditions and stresses, identify disruptions that impair host resilience and cause disease, and translate these insights into innovative solutions for plant health and ecological balance.
