Plant Biology Graduate Group Seminar Series: "Uncovering Cell Type Differentiation and its Response to the Environment"

Siobhan Brady, HHMI & University California, Davis, presents "Uncovering Cell  Type Differentiation  and its Response to  the Environment".

Siobhan Brady received her PhD at the University of Toronto in 2005 and was a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Postdoctoral Fellow at Duke University from 2005-2008 in the lab of Philip Benfey. In 2009 she began an Assistant Professor position and became Professor in 2020 at the University of California, Davis in the Department of Plant Biology and in the Genome Center. Siobhan became a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator in 2024. Research in the Brady lab focuses on the global regulation of gene expression and its contribution to root morphology and development in Arabidopsis thaliana, Solanum species and Sorghum bicolor. The Brady lab is also committed to developing publicly available data and resources for the community and to the mentoring of scientists from diverse and under-represented backgrounds.
