Postdocs

Maxime Kadner

Maxime studies the molecular changes that converted wild plants to crops using grain amaranth as a model.






Hanna Marie Schilbert

Hanna studies how pleiotropy evolves as part of TRR 341.






Akanksha Singh

Akanksha studies the introduction history of grain amaranth to India and the sources of adaptive alleles.






Margarita Takou

Margarita studies polygenic selection in an experimental population of European maize.








PhD candidates

Corbinian Graf

Corbinian is a PhD student studying the genetic landscape of grain amaranth and how it changed during the repeated domestication.






Ella Ludwig

Ella studies stuctural variation in amaranth.






Susanne Vollmer

Susanne is a PhD student and part of the CEPLAS graduate school in collaboration with the Hensel lab at HHU. Susanne advances various molecular methods for amaranth and dissects the regulation of betalain pigments.






Tom Winkler

Tom is a PhD student studying amaranth domestication and the involvement of transcriptomic changes in metabolic pathways.






Yuna Zhang

Yuna studies polygenic adaptation and the evolution of trait syndromes as part of the TRR 341.
