Doris Wagner is a Robert I. Williams Term Professor of Biology, University of Pennsylvania.
Wagner's research focuses on the reprogramming of cell identity and function during developmental transitions and in response to environmental inputs in plants. Reprogramming offers a window of opportunity to unravel the regulatory logic that underlies cell fate and function as existing programs are shut down and new ones are put in place. Plants are an excellent experimental system to address this question as they tailor their final form and cell function to a changing environment to optimize growth and survival. Wagner's research team has shown that master transcriptional regulators, hormone response and chromatin state together orchestrate cell fate reprogramming in plants.
Tea at 2:15 p.m.
