Bojan Gujas

Dr. Bojan Gujas is a Researcher at ETH Zurich's Department of Environmental Systems Science and a member of the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center. His work focuses on plant development, particularly vascular systems and root architecture in model plants like Arabidopsis. He investigates molecular mechanisms governing phloem differentiation, vein branching, and hormonal signaling pathways such as auxin and brassinosteroid crosstalk.

Research interests include genetic regulation of root adaptation to environmental stresses, evolutionary aspects of plant genes, and the role of phospholipids and phosphoinositides in cellular differentiation. His studies bridge genetics, cell biology, and computational modeling to understand developmental processes at molecular and cellular levels.

Key contributions include elucidating pH-dependent CLE peptide roles in phloem formation, PTEN gene divergence in vacuolar remodeling, and BRX gene function in acidic soil adaptation. His publications span plant biology, genetics, and molecular signaling, with a focus on integrating experimental and theoretical approaches.

Dr. Gujas collaborates across disciplines within the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center, contributing to advancements in plant physiology and developmental biology. His research highlights mechanisms underlying plant adaptation and vascular system evolution, with implications for agriculture and environmental resilience.
