Gabriel David

Dr. Gabriel David is a Researcher at the Institute for Computational Cell Biology, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, specializing in computational approaches to plant-environment interactions under climate change stressors.

His research integrates plant physiology with data science to model drought-induced xylem lignification and water transport disruption. Key interests span Plant Biology, Computational Biology, Metabolism, and Synthetic Biology, with emphasis on 3D reconstruction of plant systems and water-lignin interaction simulations.

Dr. David leads four core research areas: Optimizing Plant Performance by Mapping Development-Metabolism Interfaces (RA 1), Plant Microbiota Metabolic Networks and Edaphic Adaptation (RA 2), Synthetic and Reconstruction Biology (RA 3), and Theoretical Plant Biology with Data Science (RA 4). He utilizes specialized infrastructure including the Plant Metabolism and Metabolomics Facility and Imaging Platform.
