Melanie Bailey, PhD - Professor, University of Surrey

Single-cell analysis is a new and rapidly growing field that is shedding new insight into the cellular mechanisms behind the pathogenesis and treatment of infectious diseases and cancer. Cells, even within a single tissue, culture or biological fluid are highly heterogenous. Analysis of bulk material therefore only provides an average value, meaning that information is lost. Single cell ...

Sienna Borden - Molecular Scientist, Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories

Trees get diseases too! For the molecular research scientists that identify and provide management recommendations for plant diseases that impact trees and other woody plants, tools specifically designed for these applications can be scarce or inaccessible. When Sienna saw her sample numbers rapidly increase due to several economically significant diseases requiring molecular detection, it became ...

Glen Uhrig, PhD - Associate Professor, University of Alberta

As sessile organisms, plants are incredibly mindful of their time. As a result, they extensively regulate cellular and physiological processes through a combination of circadian (anticipatory) and light‐responsive (reactive) mechanisms in order to adapt to their changing daily environment and to respond to stress. To date, our understanding of diel plant cell regulation has largely been derived ...
