Synthetic Biology HHU

Group Leader in Plant Synthetic Genomics at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and the Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences (CEPLAS). My research develops the genetic and cellular methods required for synthetic plant chromosomes to function in living cells — including telomere seeding, neocentromere activation, and heritable gene expression — using Physcomitrium patens as a programmable plant chassis. I use the circadian clock as a quantitative test system to test whether complex gene ...
