How is a physical stimulus (such as light, gravity, hormones, and metabolites) perceived and integrated into a signal transduction pathway, and how are these cellular events regulated by biosynthesis and proteolysis? Our research integrates cutting-edge approaches from biochemistry, structural biology, molecular and cellular biology, and plant biology to decode these sensing mechanisms and their corresponding signaling pathways.

Our overarching goal is to decipher these fundamental biological pathways at various levels, ranging from the atomic scale to the complex interactions within organisms. Through our investigations, we aim to deepen our understanding of these processes and develop innovative strategies that can significantly impact agriculture, the environment, and human health.
