IOB student Elizabeth Trippe received travel awards from the New Phytologist Trust and the UGA Plant Center to attend the 35th New Phytologist Symposium: The Genomes of Forest Trees: New Frontiers of Forest Biology. Ms. Trippe was chosen to present at the conference, held at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts.
Congratulations to Elizabeth!
Dr. CJ Tsai, adjunct faculty member in the Institute of Bioinformatics, has made modifications to the genome of a tree species for the first time. Dr. Tsai is working with a gene editing tool called CRISPR/Cas to make genomic changes to specific genes in the genus Populus — a group of deciduous trees. For more information, please see the article published on UGA today. The article can be found here.
Chi Zhang has published in the Journal of Molecular Cell Biology. His article “Elucidation of drivers of high-level productions of lactates throughout a cancer development” is available here.
