Using the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as model organism, we are working on four main projects (only own work is cited in the figure legends of the project descriptions - see publication list for references).

I. Systems Biology of acclimation responses

II. Functional investigation of the chloroplast HSP70/HSP90 chaperones.

III. Investigation of the mechanisms by which the HSP70A promoter activates transgene expression.

IV. Dissection of the heat stress response in Chlamydomonas
