MBS Seminar - Chromatin-based gene regulatory mechanisms controlling plant architecture
Title: Chromatin-based gene regulatory mechanisms controlling plant architecture
Speaker: Dr Miloš Tanurdžić (SCMB)
Bio: After a misguided adventure in medicine, Miloš graduated with his BSc in Biology with a minor in Endocrinology in Serbia before he moved to the US for his doctoral training in Genetics at Purdue University (Thesis work in plant comparative and functional genomics). After defending his PhD in 2004, he moved to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory where he did postdoctoral work in plant epigenomics with Rob Martienssen. In 2012 Miloš moved from NY to Brisbane and started his first independent position at UQ, first with the School of Biological Sciences and now with the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences. His research interests are many, and currently focus on the molecular genetic mechanisms responsible for the fascinating phenotypic plasticity in plants.
About School research seminars
Seminars cover all aspects of chemistry and molecular biosciences and are delivered by visiting national and international academics. PhD completion seminars are also incorporated into the program.
Seminars are usually held in person and occasionally via zoom. All are welcome to attend.
