Jennifer Lyn Nemhauser is an American biologist who is a Professor of Developmental Biology at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.[1] She specializes in synthetic biology, genomics, and signaling dynamics in plants.
Early life and education[]
Nemhauser was an undergraduate student at Wellesley College, where she majored in biological sciences. Her honours thesis considered the Arabidopsis thaliana Linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase (LOX1) promoter.[2] After graduating, Nemhauser worked as a research assistant at the Whitehead Institute.[3] She was a doctoral researcher in the group of at the University of California, Berkeley.[4] She moved to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies for her postdoctoral studies, where she worked in the laboratory of Joanne Chory.[3] During her postdoctoral research she was first introduced to genomics, where she began to use genomic tools to better understand plant hormone signaling.[5]
Research and career[]
In 2006, Nemhauser moved to Seattle, where she joined the University of Washington.[3] Her research combines molecular genetics and synthetic biology.[6] Primarily, Nemhauser looks to understand how the regulation of cellular function (e.g. division, differentiation and communication) allows for multi-cellular life.[7] She develops novel tools to investigate the signaling dynamics of plants, including the transmission of the plant hormone auxin.[8] Nemhauser has extensively studied the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to understand how seedlings adapt to their environments.[9]
