Lab Members:
Associate Professor (on-term)
Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology
joshua.gendron@yale.edu
Research Assistant:
Christopher Adamchek
christopher.adamchek@yale.edu
Christopher is a Research Assistant who is interested in how the plant circadian clock intersects with stress pathways to improve plan fitness. He handles the protein expressions and phenotyping (taking thousands of plant pictures) of the labs decoy library pipeline. Outside of the lab you can find Chris pursuing his life passion of Karate.
Postdoctoral:
Wei Liu, Ph.D.
wei.liu.wl366@yale.edu
Wei is a Postdoctoral Associate focused on identifying the biological function of the circadian rhythms controlled F-box proteins. Using the unique set of genetic tools named decoy method, he has identified several novel F-box proteins likely involved in the regulation of plant growth and development.
Qingqing Wang, Ph.D.
Qingqingwang927@gmail.com
Qingqing is a Postdoctoral Accociate working on the potential roles of F-box protein TLPs in plant growth and environmental stress in Arabidopsis.
Man-Wah Li, Ph.D.
manwah.li@yale.edu
Man-Wah is an Associate Research Scientist currently focused on exploring seasonal growth mechanisms. Additionally, he is interested in research related to plant-environment interactions, plant abiotic stress tolerance, plant population genetics, and genomics. He has an outdated CPU in his brain, so please forgive him if he occasionally does not respond.
Graduate Student(s):
Chun Chung (Ted) Leung
ted.leung@yale.edu
Ted is a rotating graduate student interested in how the circadian clock affects plant growth and development. In particular, he will be studying the interaction of the clock with sugar signaling. Outside of the lab you can find Ted burning and cutting his fingers in the kitchen.
Morgan Vanderwall
morgan.vanderwall@yale.edu
Morgan is from Utah and graduated from Whitworth University with B.S. in biochemistry. As a graduate student, she is using biochemical assays and genetic screens to investigate the function of a sugar-binding F-Box protein and its role in promoting glycoprotein degradation and wintertime plant survival. Outside of the lab you can find Morgan knitting, hiking/running, or buying yet another house plant.
Yushi Xia
yushi.xia@yale.edu
Yushi is a graduate student in Gendron lab. He is currently working on the function of circadian clock genes in regulating metabolic day length sensing. Outside of the lab you can find Yushi messing up his kitchen.
Rotation Student(s):
Beatrice Cundiff
Bea is a rotation student in the Gendron lab. She is from the western suburbs of Chicago and graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Genetics & Plant Biology and Environmental Science. As a graduate student she is interested in studying the genetic responses of plants to our changing global climate. Outside of the lab you can find Bea running/hiking, taking care of her house plants, or cozying up for the night with a cup of tea and a good TV show.
