Dr. Jake Brunkard
Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Jake is an assistant professor of Genetics at UW Madison. He received his PhD in Pat Zambryski’s lab at UC Berkeley investigating plasmodesmatal trafficking between plant cells and studied maize development in Sarah Hake’s lab at the Plant Gene Expression Center (USDA) as a postdoc. His lab studies how plants sense and respond to nutrient availability through the conserved TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR or mTOR) signaling hub.
