Jobs in other plant sciences and arts specialties

Kim Pickens, Assistant Professor Kim received her Ph.D degree with a plant biotechnology focus, working with Dr. Max Cheng. Her thesis involved developing an in vitro propagation and regeneration system and evaluating colchicine and oryzalin for tetraploid induction. Kim was hired just prior to graduating as an Assistant Professor at Macon State College, in the field of biology.

 

Joo Young Kim, Biological Scientist Joo Young will receive her MS degree with a plant biotechnology focus, working with Dr. Max Cheng. Her thesis involved transforming aspen with auxin biosynthesis gene and ACC deaminase gene for increase of biomass yield. Joo Young was hired prior to graduating as a Biological Scientist at University of Florida, in the field of horticultural molecular biology and biotechnology.

 

Nrupali Patel, PHd candidate Nrupali received an M.S. degree in the field of plant biotechnology, working with Dr. Neal Stewart. Her research involved gene regulation of algae in response to exposure to the explosive TNT using microarray technology. Her thesis resulted in a Plant Science paper and a book chapter. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in plant pathology at N.C. State University.

 

Laura Hudson, PhD candidate Laura took an M.S. degree in the field of plant biotechnology, working with Dr. Neal Stewart. She worked with tagging of pollen with a green fluorescent protein marker for gene flow and with reproductive physiology. Her thesis research resulted in the publication of two journal articles and two book chapters. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in plant pathology at N.C.
