Hi! My name is Sonali.

I am a researcher interested in how plants acquire Nitrogen from their environment particularly in association with beneficial bacteria. I study the model legume Medicago truncatula and it's bacterial partner Sinorhizobium meliloti and try to understand the hormone signaling pathways underlying this interaction.

I enjoy mentoring and working with students to uncover what excites them the most about science.

I also combat manuscript writing procrastination by writing blog posts (occasionally).
