Multi-omics | The molecular biology of plants in space

Dr. Stan Roux, Professor of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Texas – Austin, has had a long and successful career based on his fascination with plants and his desire to understand plant biology. He’s spent his career exploring the effect of apyrase on root systems, crop yields, and plant nutrient uptake. We get into Stan’s unlikely career path and how a chance conversation with a colleague at a conference led to his 25 years of collaboration with NASA and experiments on space missions to help understand the effect of gravity on plant development that could inform how plants are cultivated on the moon or Mars. Join us for this fascinating discussion on the impact of transcriptomics and proteomics in research and the mysteries of plants that are yet to be solved.
