I am interested in studying the evolutionary arms race between plants and pathogens. My previous research has focused on screening diverse Arabidopsis accessions to identify novel resistance genes against clubroot disease. I have also performed a structure-guided analysis of the secretome of gall-forming pathogens to understand effector diversity and evolution. In my current role, I study common host pathways exploited by gall forming pathogens to induce morphological changes.
