I'm thrilled to announce the complete program for #ICAR2024SanDiego! 👉🏽Please check out the amazing line of up over 300 speakers in nearly 50 sessions! I hope to see you soon in San Diego.. icar2024.weebly.com/full-program.h…

Big news - my lab is moving this summer! It was a difficult decision to leave BPSC at UCR but I’m excited about the future directions of our research in our new home in UCLA MCDB at UCLA.

#NewPI Update: Yesterday was July 1st, meaning I'm officially an Assistant Professor at WashU Biology and an Assistant Member at Danforth Center ! Feels surreal to have my dream job. Time to make this an exciting year 1 as a faculty member!

I’m LOVING this beautiful conference sign I commissioned from the talented Kerri for ICAR starting the 15th! She even added a shadow on the beach for him 💕 Araby runner by Jin's LifeRxiv

How does organismal complexity originate? In this Annual Reviews article, I synthesize a framework for how cooperative division of labor evolves between cell types, creating organ-level functions. Organ Evolution: Emergence of Multicellular Function go.shr.lc/3xMHHs8

The Cox Lab is looking for 1-2 postdocs to join us! If you have an interest/expertise in single-cell/spatial transcriptomics, imaging, and/or plant-microbe interactions, I encourage you to apply! wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

My postdoctoral work is published online today! Thanks to Dr. Lucia Strader(Lucia Strader) for the excellent mentorship. Big thanks to all my colleagues who supported my work. Thanks to Dr. Philip Benfey and Dr. Guy Wachsman for all the suggestions to improvise the manuscript.

Excited to share our work integrating transcriptome, (phospho)proteome, and metabolome data to map mulit-omicQTL and build predictive regulatory networks of NLB infected corn. Awesome work by Dr. Natalie Clark Judith Kolkman Christian Montes et al. Great collab. with Nelson & Christensen labs!

Our manuscript is now out in Science Advances. In this study, we aimed to determine the nature of the proposed non-cell-autonomous effects of BRI1. (1/5) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
