Biography
Joseph is a plant molecular biologist. His Ph.D work comprehensively covered
the genetic landscape of the moss Physcomitrella patens, focusing on abiotic
stress responses. During his post doctoral studies, he discovered that a gene
ABI3 is essential for desiccation tolerance of moss through abscisic acid, and
a conserved microRNA 156 promotes phase change during moss development opposite
to its inhibitory function in flowering plants. Currently, he is involved in
structural investigation of plant cellulose synthase A using cryo TEM
technology.
