Additional information
Mayank is a plant cell biologist currently working in the research group of Professor Samuel Zeeman. His research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of starch granule initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana leaf tissue. Additionally, he is leading a project centered on ESCRT biology in chloroplasts, with a specific emphasis on the discovery of novel ESCRT proteins involved in chloroplast membrane biogenesis and maintenance. Mayank's work in these areas contributes to the broader understanding of plant cell biology and its practical applications.
