The overall mission of my lab and the Plant Transformation Core Research Facility (PTCRF) is to develop new technologies for crop genetic improvement and support collaborative research towards engineering regenerative and resilient crops for food, biofuel and specialized metabolite production. Our approaches towards accomplishing this mission include:

Developing novel traits in important crop species
Applying new genetic engineering and genome editing tools
Improving protocols for tissue-culture based transformation and tissue-culture free genome editing
