05 — The next generation

Our most important output is the people.

Around a hundred postdocs, graduate students, and visiting scientists have trained in the group and gone on to lead labs and teams across academia, industry, NGOs, and government worldwide. Mentoring the next generation of quantitative and computational plant scientists is central to what we do.
