In recent years the study focuses mainly on sever grapevine diseases with no control means. The primary approach is using endophytic bacteria as bio-control agents. The research tools include nurse culture in vitro, stem cuttings, microbiology and molecular methods. The research is conducted in the laboratory, greenhouse and field.

From educational aspect - the focus is on science education to elementary and high school students. The main topics involve the introduction of local wild plant species into sustainable gardening.
