Functional genomics & molecular biology of symbiotic fungi
The Zuccaro group focuses on the mechanisms that enable symbiotic fungi to colonize plants successfully and on the processes accounting for variations in host preferences and fungal lifestyles.
Our research aims to enhance agricultural sustainability by understanding and leveraging symbiotic relationships between fungi and plants. We are dedicated to developing innovative solutions that benefit both farmers and the environment.
The Zuccaro lab is actively involved in teaching early career researchers at the University of Cologne. Learn more about current lectures & the module "Molecular Plant Microbe Interaction".
