My research focus on combining mass spectrometry and several omics techniques with wet lab experiments to gain a better understanding of the identity, distribution, function and evolutionary history of lipids in symbiotic associations.

I am now an EMBO Postdoctoral Fellow in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Genomics where I will study the mechanisms behind intracellular lipid transfer in the aphid symbiosis.
