Biography

Professor Francesco Licausi conducts research in the field of Molecular Plant Physiology at the University of Oxford. His work focuses on understanding how plants sense and respond to variations in oxygen availability, which is critical for their development and metabolic adjustments. He explores the signaling mechanisms that enable plant cells to detect oxygen levels and initiate developmental processes based on environmental changes. By applying synthetic biology techniques, he investigates the evolution of aerobic metabolism and multicellularity, contributing valuable insights into oxygen homeostasis across different kingdoms. Through his laboratory, Licausi Lab, he mentors students and collaborates with researchers in exploring these complex biological systems.
