EvoMPMI – Evolution of Molecular Plant Pathogen Interactions

#EvoMPMI

#WildPlantPathogens

Who are we?

The Stam lab is a research group led by Dr. Remco Stam, hosted at the Chair of Phytopathology (Prof. Ralph Hückelhoven) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM)

The main research projects are focused on the evolution of defence mechanisms in the wild tomato species Solanum chilense and pathogen diversity in nature and on crops. The group also has projects on gene family evolution. All focus on Diversity and Evolution of Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions (EvoMPMI).

We currently do not have any open PhD or postdoc positions. If you are interested in applying to join the lab with your own funding (e.g. Marie Skłodowska Curie or Alexander von Humboldt fellowships), feel free to contact me directly. I am happy to discuss such opportunities. We are always looking for Msc students interested in doing an internship or MSc thesis. The projects can be a mix of lab and computational work. A current list of open projects can be found here:
