Patricia Lang she/her

Assistant Professor, Department of Plant and Microbial Biology

plang [at] berkeley.edu

Patti wants to understand the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to climate change.

Plants! Books, languages, nature, writing, climbing. Did I mention plants?

Myeongjune Jeon he/him

Postdoc

jeon.myeongjune [at] berkeley.edu

Myeongjune hopes to uncover the genetic basis behind climate change-driven evolution of plant reproductive traits.

Max Gray      he/him

PhD Student

maxgray [at] berkeley.edu

Max wants to understand which genes are behind plant climate change responses, and if plant populations are evolving similarly across the globe.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading, music, and hiking (slowly, to not miss any plants!).
