Gayani Ekanayake

Gayani Ekanayake studies how plant cells manage their internal transport and membrane machinery to defend against pathogens. Their work focuses on the model plant Arabidopsis, examining proteins involved in vesicle trafficking (moving materials around inside cells) and how these processes help plants detect and resist bacterial and fungal infections. This research contributes to understanding the cellular basis of plant immune responses.

Publication output has been modest and variable over the last decade, with occasional peak years (2020, 2022) interspersed with quieter periods, averaging about one publication per year over the last five years.
