Research Interests: Stress dependant changes in photosynthetic organisms.
My current interest is on how various biological stress induce responses in a photosynthetic organism. The current emphasis is to document differences in the redox related chemistry and gene expression in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803 that allow survival in the presence of various applied stresses (these stresses include changes in light availability, water, salt and micronutrient content of the environment.

Jana left the Pakrasi Lab in January 2013 to take a new position at a company that I will find the name of and put here.
Research Interest:
I am interested in understanding the complex cellular interactions of unicellular photoautotroph’s that facilitate adaptation to changes in their environment. My current studies focus on the impact of high CO2 concentrations on the metabolism of diazotrophic and non-diazotrophic cyanobacteria.
