I am passionate about understanding organism-environment relationships and the underlying molecular responses to changing environmental conditions. In my research, I try to contribute to a better understanding of how organisms and microbial communities respond to changing temperatures and the presence of xenobiotic substances such as insecticides and heavy metals. My research involves:
To this end, I combine laboratory- and field studies, (meta)proteomics, transcriptomics, and bioinformatics to mine and make sense of molecular functional data. I hope a better understanding of these mechanisms will facilitate novel assessment tools and tell us more about how species and communities will fair in impacted environments.
