Research:
Systems Biology of Plant metabolic networks - mathematical modelling and flux analysis (fluxomics)
The experimental, technical and modeling expertise gained during my D.Phil and postdoctoral research in the area of Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) has been instrumental in generating flux maps - a functional description of the metabolic phenotype of the organism under study. The model systems I studied independently and in collaboration with others are Arabidopsis thaliana cell suspension cultures, transgenic hairy root lines of Tobacco and Catharanthus roseus, free living bacteria Rhizobium leguminosarum and Pseudomonas syringae. I employed a wide variety of advanced tools and techniques such as stable isotope and radiolabeling experiments, NMR, GC-MS, Matlab, 13CFLUX® etc.
