Webinar Dolf Weijers & Dana MacGregor

Dolf Weijers – Wageningen University & Research, the Netherlands
‘Cell polarity across multicellular kingdoms’
(presentation that would have been given at the annual meeting Experimental Plant Sciences in Lunteren)

Dolf Weijers is the Chair of Biochemistry in the Department of Agrotechnology and Food Sciences at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. He studied Biochemistry and Biotechnology in Enschede (the Netherlands), then did a PhD (completed in 2002) in Molecular and Developmental Genetics at Leiden University (Netherlands). He then spent 4 years as post-doc in Tübingen (Germany; with Gerd Jürgens), and started his lab at Wageningen University (Netherlands) in 2006, where he is currently professor and chair of Biochemistry. His team focuses on using the early plant embryo to understand principles underlying multicellular development, and on the structural, functional and evolutionary basis for auxin response. @dolfweijers

 

Dana MacGregor – Rothamsted Research, UK
‘Bringing agricultural weeds into the molecular lab’

Dana MacGregor is a research scientist at Rothamsted Research. She was an undergraduate at Dickinson College, did her PhD at the University of Chicago, and carried out postdoctoral research in the UK at York, Exeter and the John Innes Centre. In 2018 she started her own group at Rothamsted and moved from studies on model organisms (Arabidopsis and Brassica) to address the study of a problematic weed, black-grass (Alopecurus).
