LecturerMy research focuses on the analysis of the synthetic pathways of plant pigments, and the isolation and functional identification of the enzyme genes that synthesize them. Of particular interest are the enzymes that synthesize pigments with unique structures, often found only in specific plant species.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Modifying enzyme function
Construction of a pathway for the synthesis of pigments in other plants
Motto in Research or in Life:
I pursue work that genuinely sparks my curiosity.
Hobby / Holiday:
Keeping tropical fish, Spending time with my children
