About Krešimir Šola

Krešimir is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) in Ghent (Belgium). He did his BSc in biology at the University of Zagreb (Croatia), followed by a PhD at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada) where he studied plant cell walls. Following three years of postdoctoral research on metabolism of green leaf volatiles and their roles in communication between plants at the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), he joined VIB where he currently works on regulation and engineering of plant specialised metabolism. His current scientific interests revolve around plant metabolites – how they are made, how their production is regulated, and why they are made at all.
