About my research

Heat stress is known to impair reproductive success, often resulting in reduced seed set. Although research suggests that male reproductive development and fertility are particularly sensitive to elevated temperatures, the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects remain incompletely understood. In my research, I aim to identify the cell-type-specific genetic regulators of the mechanisms that shape reproductive responses to heat (and drought) stress using single nuclei RNA sequencing.
