This webinar is a spotlight on plant synthetic biology, featuring three rising stars in one dynamic interactive session. Three early career researchers, hosted by Dr. Thomas Gorochowski and Dr. Emily Larson, discuss plant biology topics including reprogramming plant root growth, genome engineering, and the biodesign potential of marchantia polymorpha. The speakers include:
- Dr. Jennifer Brophy (keynote) – ‘Reprogramming plant root growth using synthetic developmental regulation.’
- Dr Quentin Dudley – ‘Genome engineering of Nicotiana benthamiana as an improved plant-based bioproduction system for medicinal alkaloids.’
- Dr Eftychis Frangedakis – ‘Marchantia polymorpha: an emerging system for plant synthetic biology.’
