Dr. Geng Ding
Position
- Assistant Scientist
My research project focuses on integrated and dynamic multi-spectroscopic in situ imaging of plant metabolism at the level of subcellular compartments. Our goal is to dynamically visualize and chemically characterize the breadth of lipid metabolism, from biosynthesis to degradation, providing crucial information to understand the processes affecting physical and chemical lipid boundaries related to systems-level regulation of plant metabolism.
Hometown: Beijing, China. Likes best about working with the Nikolau group: The atmosphere in Nikolau group is very open. We are not only colleagues but also friends. Fun fact: Becoming a super-mom
Area of Expertise: Plant Metabolism
