David Rüscher
Friedrich Alexander Universtiy Erlangen-Nürnberg
David Rüscher is a PhD student in the group of Wolfgang Zierer at the division of biochemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg. He is interested in biotechnological advances in crop sciences to secure future nutrition. For him, the CASS project is of special interest, since Cassava is a plant which is usually overlooked in global agriculture and improvement will directly aid people who need it most. Within the project, David will focus primarily on analysis of the transgenic lines in terms of photosynthetic properties and the resulting shift in Source-to-Sink relationship.
