As we will be starting our work in Gießen in spring this year, we have projects, space, funding, and supervisors available for studentswho intend to work on their Master's thesis or Bachelor's thesis in our lab. We are using state of the art molecular genetics methods to answer exciting questions in the field of plant evolutionary developmental genetics. We welcome all students interested in plants, developmental biology, molecular evolution, or molecular genetics to work with us.

Please have a look at the research pages and publications and write an email (annette.becker@flower-evodevo.com) in case you would like more information on our approaches, questions, and methods.

In mid February 2012, most members and the PI of the plant evo-devo group will move to the Justus-Liebig-University in Gießen (Germany) to be part of the Plant Biology Department. We are all looking forward to this exciting new adventure!!!

At the end of September, Ashwini Bhide started her Master's thesis on posttranslational control of transcription factors involved in flower development. Welcome to the Becker group, Ash!!!
