Leonie Luginbuehl
Assistant Professor
Biography
Leonie did her PhD at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, where she investigated the role of GRAS-domain transcription factors in reprogramming roots during the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. Her work identified a lipid biosynthesis and export pathway that provides AM fungi with fixed carbon. As a Herchel Smith Fellow at the Department of Plant Sciences in Cambridge, she studied the cell type specific regulation of photosynthesis gene expression in leaves of C3 and C4 plants using single cell sequencing approaches. In September 2022, she started her own group as an Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge.
