Scientific projects at the Thünen Institute

Since 2021: Head of the Junior Research Group "Genetic Technologies"

2018-2021: Project Scientist in "aProPop" (Development of a DNA-free genome editing system in poplar by transient Cas9/gRNA plasmid and ribonucleinprotein transfer into protoplasts and germinating pollen)
