Sander Peters

Sander Peters is a Group Leader at BIOS Applied Bioinformatics, Wageningen University and Research. His work focuses on plant genomics, genetic diversity, and bioinformatics-driven crop breeding strategies.

• Key Research Areas: Meiotic recombination, genome architecture, host-pathogen interactions, and comparative genomics in crops like lettuce, melon, and tomato.

Recent Publications highlight his contributions to understanding recombination coldspots, powdery mildew resistance in melons, and allopolyploid genome dynamics. He actively supervises PhD candidates and collaborates on datasets for crop improvement.

• Projects: Leading initiatives in thermal control of meiotic recombination, single-cell genomics for crop breeding, and stress response genomics.
