Lab Members

	Rhiannon Biddick Postdoc rbiddick@salk.edu	I'm interested in understanding the role of chromatin remodeling in apical/basal patterning during embryo formation and trying to determine if histone modifications instruct cells as to what tissue type they will become.
	Jeremy Gabriel Lab Assistant jgabriel@ucsd.edu
	Rebecca Gonzalez Bayon Postdoc rbayon@salk.edu
	Mari Hoshi Student Volunteer
	Dior Kelley Postdoc dkelley@salk.edu	I am using a combination of genetic and biochemical approaches to further dissect the apical-basal patterning pathway regulated by TOPLESS during embryogenesis.
	Naden Krogan Postdoc krogan@salk.edu	I am interested in how the process of histone deacetylation ensures correct patterning in plant development.
	Jared Sewell Research Assistant jsewell@salk.edu	I'm interested in finding the direct targets of a family of transcription factors whose role is to establish polarity in embryo's and lateral organs as well as formation and maintenance of the shoot stem cell population.
	Jay Sheth Student Volunteer
	Peter T. Smith Lab aide psmith@salk.edu
	Zachery Smith Graduate Student zrsmith@salk.edu	I'm investigating genetic interactions that contribute to the patterning of apical-basal and abaxial-adaxial axes during early Arabidopsis embryogenesis.
	Bas van Schooten Postdoc bschooten@salk.edu	I'm investigating the role of auxin and transcriptional repression during Arabidopsis embryogenesis.
