Griffitts:Lab Members: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:04, 7 January 2013

	Joel Griffitts Principal Investigator I graduated from Stanford University in 1999, finished graduate school at UC San Diego in 2004 and then returned to Stanford to work on symbiotic nitrogen fixation as a post-doc. During that time, I developed several projects centered on symbiotic invasion and host–microbe compatibility. I have been on the BYU faculty since 2006, where my lab is investigating various aspects of host–microbe communication.
	Matthew Crook Graduate Student I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Griffitts lab. I am studying the molecular determinants of host range in the symbiotic relationship between the bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti and members of the plant genus Medicago.
	Ryan VanYperen Graduate Student I am a second-year Ph.D. student developing inducible gene expression tools and studying a two-component system in S. meliloti.
	Gledi Peco Undergraduate I am using a modified RIVET system to delete genes during symbiotic infection.
	Jordan Guillory Undergraduate I am working on identifying antibiotic targets using randomized peptide aptamers.
	Taylor Orton Undergraduate I am studying a two-component system in S. meliloti.
