This Valentines Day weekend the Wagner Lab welcomed the newest member of our lab, Dr. Sandhan Prakash, to the City of Brotherly Love! Dr. Prakash flew all the way from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, India where he received his Ph.D. In the Wagner Lab, he plans to study the function of epigenomic regulators in cell fate reprogramming and plant survival mechanism during abiotic stress response.
In the mist of the USA elections, the Wagner Lab is over joyed to welcome Dr. Shalini Yadav. Dr. Yadav traveled all the way from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) in Mohali, India where she received her Ph.D. In the Wagner Lab she plans to study the role of antiflorigen Terminal Flower (TFL1) in axillary meristem fate.
We are so excited for our newest publication in the lab as well as a Penn Today‘s profile of the work!
Welcome Tian Huang! Tian did his undergraduate studies in Fudan University, in Shanghai, China and now he is sharing his enthusiasm for plant research as a member of the Biology Graduate Program. We are so excited that he chose to join our lab and look forward to the discoveries we will make together.
We condemn the grave injustices that black people confront in this country, in particular the unbridled and deplorable police brutality and express our sorrow about the many lives this has taken, compounded by lack of equal healthcare, housing and employment that is causing more illness and death among black people during COVID19; racial profiling, mass incarcerations, wrongful convictions and many more injustices and no end in sight for 400 years.

The University of Pennsylvania Biomedical Research Academy is a summer program that introduces the experimental basis of cellular, molecular, and genetic aspects of biology to students in 9th-11th grade. Dr. Doris Wagner gave a virtual live lecture to help student gain insight into our research on drought stress and epigenetics in plants.
Dr. Doris Wagner present a lecture in Biol425 superlab to modify activity of plant chromatin regulators
Congratulations to Dr. Run Jin for successfully defending her PhD Thesis! We are so proud of her and will miss her in the lab.
All are invited to the thesis research defense of Wagner Lab’s Run Jin.
