Affiliated and Adjunct MCB Faculty Profiles: Plant Biology

• Scott E. Bingham (Ph.D., Brandeis): Function of nuclear and chloroplast photosynthetic proteins as probed by mutagenesis of Clamydomonas; characterization of genes involved in lipid biosynthesis. LSE 535 (480) 965-8520
• Thomas A. "Tad" Day (Ph.D., Colorado State): Plant stress physiology; cell optics and processes. LSE 607 (480) 965-8165
• Lokesh Joshi (Ph.D., University of Bath, UK): The overall research objectives are to produce complex human recombinant therapeutic proteins in plants with mammalian-like glycosylation structures and to discover and development novel triterpene glycosides (saponins) from desert plant species as anti-cancer drugs. We employ metabolic engineering, structural characterization using various chemical methods including HPLC and tandem Mass Spectrometer and various cellular, biochemical and molecular methods to achieve the research objectives. LS E 635(480) 727-7367
• Russell LoBrutto (Ph.D., Buffalo): Continuous-wave and pulsed EPR; electron-transport protein complexes; metal-nucleotide complexes in enzymes. LSE S66 (480) 965-9037
• Ilga Winicov (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania): Alfin 1 Research on genes important in salt tolerance of plants and their regulation under salinity stress.  Expression of human genes in plants for potential therapeutic purposes. LSE 617 965-6899
