Structural and functional basis of cellulose synthesis. Using Physcomitrella patens and other organisms as model systems, we are learning how plants make cellulose for building new cell wall. The studies use methods of molecular biology and cryoEM to characterize the enzyme as a monomer, and when it assembles into its larger 'Cellulose Synthase Complex '(CSC for short). The aim is to understand cellulose synthesis to explain fundamentals of cell wall biology in plants, and to enable manipulation of its synthesis for applications in fields of bioenergy and materials.

Suzanne Gonzalez
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and of Pharmacology
My laboratory
focuses on neuropsychiatric genetics in diverse populations. I am particularly
interested in understanding how genetic polymorphisms within key physiological
pathways translate into clinical phenotypes of psychiatric disorders, such as
bipolar disease and schizophrenia.
