Interactomics service
We offer the plant research community and companies access to our latest interactomics tools, covering AP-MS and PL-MS (Turbo-ID) as complementary approaches. We also offer service for XL-MS based on tandem affinity purification of stable protein complexes.
Functional Interactomics
We are a technology driven research team that obtained international visibility with our state-of-the-art interactomics approach to map protein interaction networks in plants. More recently, we started the exploration of the signaling networks involving the central metabolic regulators TOR and SnRK1. We generate knowledge on the function and regulation of those two hubs in carbon and nitrogen signaling, with the aim to generate new approaches that contribute to a more sustainable agriculture.
Nutrient (C/N) signaling networks
TOR and SnRK1 in C/N signaling
Our interactomics tools are applied to discover new players in the TOR/SnRK1 regulatory pathway that links energy and nutrient (C/N) status with plant growth.
