Senior research group leader in the Enabling Nutrient Symbioses in Agriculture (ENSA) project, University of Cambridge
Sebastian Schornack is a Senior Group Leader at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge University (SLCU) and with the Enabling Nutrient Symbioses in Agriculture (ENSA) project. Sebastian's research aims at the elucidation of plant and microbial molecular mechanisms underlying the colonisation of plants by filamentous pathogens and symbiotic fungi. His team has adopted and become experts in diverse plant systems from bryophytes to angiosperms. This enables them to pursue comparative and evolutionary approaches. Their work has provided novel insights into plant processes supporting and limiting plant-microbe interactions, providing inroads for crop protection and crop improvement.
