Our lab is interested in deciphering the codes of life. In particular, we want to understand how genomic programs that allow organisms to grow and develop in sync with periodic environmental changes are encoded and regulated. For this, we are contributing to identifying all the regulatory components of the plant biological clock and calendar, and deciphering how they operate at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. This allows us to understand how daily and seasonal oscillations in gene expression networks operate and contribute to the control of plant growth and development. Although our focus is on deciphering how genomic programs operate in plants, we also apply the knowledge we acquire in genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics to create new biomedical and/or agricultural products that will help improve life on this planet.
