My name is Axel and I am teaching at a liberal arts college in the Midwest. My interest lies in plant biotechnology and synthetic biology for the production of useful drugs, phytopharmaceuticals, and bioactive compounds in general. However, I am also much interested in helping to build a cleaner and more sustainable environment by making plants more stress tolerant, less demanding for fertilizers, and less susceptible to pests.
