I and my team research membrane remodeling of plant membranes that confer stress resistance or enhance photosynthetic yield. We use state-of-the-art microscopy and membrane lipid analyses combined with standard biological fractionation and molecular biology techniques to determine needed lipid changes and the molecular mechanisms through which they occur.
