Main research topics
David Hanke investigates how developmental changes are controlled. These changes can occur through shifts in the level of active hormones, by alterations in tissue responses, or by a combination of the two. By microanalysing tissues for hormones his group are able to determine any changes in signal strength that occur, whilst to monitor sensitivity they are investigating the activity of receptors, secondary messengers and transcription factors. His main interest is in cytokinins, and the role of the secondary messenger inositol hexakisphosphate.
