Prof. Christoph Benning Michigan State University, USA

Christoph Benning is a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He is internationally recognized for his genetic and genomic analysis of lipid metabolism in photosynthetic bacteria and the model plant Arabidopsis. He and his co-workers have made significant contributions towards our current understanding of the biosynthesis of plant glycolipids, lipid... read moretrafficking phenomena involving the chloroplast, the regulation of membrane lipid composition by phosphate in plants and bacteria, as well as the regulation of seed oil biosynthesis in plants.
