Research Scientist in the Britt Lab
Development of highly specific nanosensor for abscisic acid (ABA) detection. The plant hormone ABA is involved in many of the plant development processes as well response signaling for various environmental stresses.
Studying tomato root development in response to phosphate starvation stress.
Tomato root responses to water stress. Tomato root gene expression profiling.
Currently working as a technician in the lab of Matthew Evans at the Carnegie Institute of Plant Science
Selection of transgenic S. lycopersicum cv. M82 and S. pennellii lines, and generating DNA sequencing libraries for T-DNA capture for identification of insert number and location.
Anatomical changes in tomato roots in response to water stress. Yeast one hybrid assays.
Analyzing the responses to water stresses in tomato root systems using histochemistry. Functional annotation of the tomato suberin biosynthesis pathway using CRISPR/Cas9.
