Recent Research Focus: My research was focused on cell biology and subcellular trafficking of protein cargos (mostly PINs). We also investigate the processes at the interface of vesicular trafficking and protein topology. We also explored the adaption of vesicular trafficking machinery in response to osmotic stress. Recently my group got interested in plant adaptation to stress also on a developmental level. One of such adaptation in plants is the change of main root growth or even remodeling of the whole root system architecture, those areas we are also perusing further, they interconnect auxin signaling and transport as well as cell biology.
Other activities: Inventor of the OzONE seed sterilizer prototype – TAČR GAMA.
Co-Founder of the Smilebox.pl product/brand.
