Adrien Burlacot, Principal Investigator

My scientific goal is to understand how photosynthesis acclimates to various environmental fluctuations and the mechanisms that allow it to fast and efficiently fix CO₂. What I enjoy most is working with people from different background, forming a team to work on big goals that no one could achive on its own. I value diversity, people, new ideas, communication, perseverance and safety.

Sai Maddiredi, Postdoc
I received my PhD from University of Hyderabad under the guidance of Prof. S. Rajagopal. My doctoral work was mainly focused on the effect of elevated temperature on the thylakoid membrane complexes in C. reinhardtii. Under an Indo-Japan collaboration project, I worked with Prof. Y. Takahashi at the Okayama University in Japan with an idea that engineering the Photosystem I acceptor side can minimize excitation pressure under high light. After the Ph.D., I continued to work in Department of Plant sciences, University of Hyderabad, as Research Associate under UGC-ISF project in collaboration with Prof. Nathan Nelson (Tel Aviv University, Israel). My post-doctoral work consisted of two projects: to understand the structural dynamics of photosynthetic complexes of Pisum sativum under varying temperature stress; understanding the role of non-high-light induced LHCSR3 expression in C. reinhardtii; under nutrient starvation.

Here at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Adrien Burlacot’s lab, using C. reinhardii as model organism, I will continue to investigate the dynamic relationships between different photosynthetic mechanisms and regulatory pathways under fluctuating environmental conditions.
