Visiting Faculty Fellowship awarded by the Weizmann Institute of Science

Prof. Dr Melanie Brunn has been awarded a Visiting Faculty Fellowship by the renowned Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. This international funding programme is aimed at researchers who have demonstrated outstanding research achievements, and supports the development of long-term international research collaborations. 

As part of the fellowship, Melanie Brunn will conduct research in Prof. Tamir Klein’s research group at the Weizmann Institute  (https://www.weizmann.ac.il/plants/klein/). The research will focus on the allocation of carbon by trees to root exudates and the underlying physiological processes. The research visit is intended to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms governing carbon distribution between plants and soils.
