Biography

Susanne Kohalmi is an Associate Professor at Western University in the Department of Biology. Her research focuses on the regulatory processes in plants, specifically studying the arogenate dehydratase (ADT) family enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana. Kohalmi investigates how these enzymes, which play a critical role in the biosynthesis of phenylalanine and the Shikimate pathway, are regulated in response to environmental cues and internal signals. Her work includes characterizing molecular aspects of the ADT gene family, exploring the expression patterns of the six ADT family members during different developmental stages and in various tissues. Kohalmi's research is significant in understanding the complexity of protein interactions and the formation of protein complexes in plants, as well as the unique subcellular localization patterns of these enzymes. This research has implications for how plants adapt their metabolism in response to environmental changes.
