SPEAKER: Dr. Laura Bartley, Institute of Biological Chemistry, WSU
BIOGRAPHY:
Dr. Laura Bartley is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Biological Chemistry at Washington State University. She relocated to WSU in July of 2020 after serving as Visiting Associate Professor at Kyoto University in 2019-2020 and as an Assistant and then Associate Professor at the University of Oklahoma, from 2010-2019. Prior to starting her own lab, she earned her B.A. in Biology from Swarthmore College, her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Stanford University, served as a AAAS Science Policy Fellow at the USDA, and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California at Davis and the Joint BioEnergy Institute. Toward improving plants, especially grasses, for biorefining, Bartley’s lab group uses molecular genetics, systems biology, and biochemistry to examine grass-diverged aspects of cell wall biosynthesis and regulation, root and shoot vegetative development, and the impact of cell wall changes on plant physiology. Dr. Bartley’s research has been funded by the US-DOE, USDA, and US-NSF.
