Within the Grape Biology, Biotechnology and Improvement group my research focuses primarily on grapevine genetics, genomics, metabolomics and breeding, particularly with regards to secondary metabolism and plant-pathogen interactions.

Granted a joint PhD from Stellenbosch University and Fondazione Edmund Mach, Italy, in 2015, before a taking up a postdoctoral researcher position at ARC Infruitec-Nietvoorbij. Currently employed as a researcher in charge of the grapevine molecular breeding platform.
