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).

Pathogen diversity and evolution

We are looking for a PhD student to work on our Solanum chilense project. The project is aimed at understanding the diversity and evolution of pathogen defence responses in different populations. In this particular project we will look at genomic and transcriptomic diversity of generic early defence responses and will try to link them to read outs on phytohormone changes and defence-associated secondary metabolites.

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.
