Research Interests

My purpose is to contribute to crop improvement and global food security by building genomics knowledge and resources that helps fasten the domestication and breeding of old and novel crops to make them more resilient and better adapted to adverse environmental climate conditions. My research currently focus on quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), 'the mother grain of Incas', a model plant for drought, frost and salt tolerance.
