The situation

Quantifying a phenotype by eye across many plants is slow and hard to defend under review. The lab needed measurement that was consistent between images and reproducible by somebody else months later.

What the work involved

  • Wrote the proprietary image analysis software the study relied on for its measurements.
  • Built the gene expression analysis and statistical modelling pipelines, and prepared the figures.
  • Ran bench work alongside the software: PCR, DNA extraction, southern blot, gel electrophoresis, and sequencing.

Outcome

The tooling supported co-authored research published in Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions in 2025.
