A main focus is the moss, Physcomitrium (previously Physcomitrella) patens.
Methods encompass molecular and cellular biology, phylogeny, phylogenomics and comparative genomics.
In terms of systems biology we are interested in gene regulatory networks.
We are studying the evolution of plant interactions with fungi and bacteria to mutually exchange nutrients.
