Research Focus
My research focuses on explaining and take advantage of the multitrophic interactions between the microbiome and the plant environment that affect both managed and unmanaged systems’ health and productivity, particularly in response to environmental change.

My research focuses on explaining and take advantage of the multitrophic interactions between the microbiome and the plant environment that affect both managed and unmanaged systems’ health and productivity, particularly in response to environmental change.Areas of my research interest are broad and include (1) plant pathology; (2) plant-microbe interactions; (3) “omics” technologies; and (4) microbiome engineering. I want to focus my research In order to improve yields and plant resilience in changing environments, plant breeders and plant ecologists will be able to predict beneficial interactions with the help of new computational tools and host/microbiome models that will be developed as a result of research on plant microbiomes. My current research at CzechGlobe is centered on decoding the molecular mechanisms underlying beneficial microbes in plant protection. In the future, I hope to investigate the role of microbial systems in sustainable agriculture under changing stress conditions caused by climate change.
