Michael Djordjevic

Associate Professor Michael Djordjevic is affiliated with the Research School of Biology at The Australian National University. His research focuses on regulators of root and shoot architecture, secreted regulatory peptides and flavonoids, biological nitrogen fixation, and root nodulation by Rhizobia. He has contributed to the identification and characterization of new angiogenesis therapeutics and has explored methodologies for isolating variant Chlamydomonas strains. His work includes the identification of new components of regulatory networks controlling root nodule formation in Medicago and the development of techniques for lipid biosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Djordjevic's research also examines the role of flavonoids in plant development and their potential as modulators of mammalian angiogenesis.
