Emanuel Devers

Dr. Emanuel Devers is a Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zurich. His research focuses on the molecular biology and biochemistry of biotic interactions between plants and microbes, fungi, viruses, and insects. Specialized in RNA interference and small RNA biology, his work explores mechanisms underlying plant defense and symbiotic relationships.

Research interests include understanding how mobile small RNAs, such as siRNAs and miRNAs, regulate plant responses to environmental challenges and symbiotic partnerships. His studies often involve model organisms like Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula, analyzing gene regulation, RNA mobility, and molecular signaling pathways.

Dr. Devers' publications highlight advancements in plant-microbe communication, RNA transport dynamics, and the role of miRNAs in symbiosis. His work bridges fundamental molecular mechanisms with applied plant biology, contributing to biotechnological strategies for enhancing plant productivity and stress resilience.
