RESEARCH

The long-term goal of our research is to study the role of nuclear architecture in normal plant development and stress conditions using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system. This area of research has been dominated by studies in yeast and vertebrates, but there has been limited progress in the plant sciences. The main goal of our laboratory is to elucidate the proteins and mechanisms that are responsible for maintaining and controlling nuclear architecture in plants. 

Most of the research in my lab is performed by undergraduate students at different levels. Students make a poster presentation every year, during the 5 de Mayo Symposium and are encourage to attend a national meeting such as the ASPB and the ASCB meetings.
