We are pleased to have Ms. Li Feng join our group as of September 1, 2011. Li is working as a technical officer with Dr. Olesya Kharenko on a project funded by the Genomics and Health Initiative, looking at energy in plants. Li’s expertise in plant transformation and characterization will be a veritable asset to the group, as attested to by the last post regarding the labs failed attempts to grow a pumpkin prior to Li being hired.
