Stéphanie Robert is a professor of plant physiology since 1 January 2021. Her inauguration lecture has the title "How do plant cells take shape".
Stéphanie Robert´s research concern the ability of plants to grow continuously and adapt their physical form, which allows them to modify their development to better cope with rapidly changing environments. Her aim is to elucidate how different parts of plants acquire their characteristic shapes while maintaining flexibility. She unravels the molecular mechanisms that control this by seeking to understand the processes governing the shapes of individual cells and the signalling pathways involved.
