NeuroPlant Team
NeuroPlant engages researchers from three Stanford schools (Medicine; Engineering; Humanities and Sciences) and the Carnegie Institution for Science and affiliates of both the Stanford Neuroscience and ChEM-H Institutes. Our interdisciplinary research team features experts in neurophysiology, molecular biophysics, plant genomics, theoretical neuroscience, and medicinal chemistry.
Lead Researchers
Thomas R. Clandinin
Professor and Chair of Neurobiology, Stanford University With his extensive experience using genetic and molecular genetic approaches in C. elegans, Dr. Clandinin leads the calcium imaging and combinatorial genome sequencing aspects of this project. |
As an expert in the sensory physiology of nematodes, Dr. Goodman leads the nematode behavioral and neural signaling assays for this project. |
Seung Yon (Sue) Rhee
Staff Scientist, Carnegie Institution for Science; Associate Professor of Biology (by courtesy), Stanford University Dr. Rhee enhances this effort with computational genetics knowledge from creating the first plant genome-wide cofunction network that identifies the functions of novel genes.
