Brief bio: During my bachelor thesis I got fascinated by the fact how plants defend themselves against intruders which I further investigated at the MPIPZ in Cologne. There I studied the plants capability to “remember” past pathogen attacks, to store this information and use it upon repetitive attack. After finishing my PhD I moved on to the Conrath lab to intensify this studies.
