Brady Lab
@bradylabs
Getting to the root of biology, one plant at a time.
And additional special event; Monday 15 July. A tribute to Philip Benfey: Networks facilitate the development of roots & scientists, organized by @Rootstrapping and @RachelMShahan. ICAR is a fitting location to remember this giant in the Arabidopsis (& plant biology) world 💕💚💙
Heritable is #hiring! We looking for a senior genomic scientist and plant scientist to help us make agriculture more sustainable, equitable, and efficient: Senior Genomic Scientist JD: heritable.ag/senior-genomic… Plant Scientist JD: heritable.ag/plant-scientist
Woohoo!!! NWO funded a project by an incredible team - 64 million euros for groundbreaking fundamental research projects - congratulations @kaisakajala @dorota_kawa nwo.nl/en/news/64-mil…
Some news to share: Hazak Lab will move soon to beautiful Münster! Excited to open a new chapter as a tenure-track Professor at the University of Münster @uni_muenster in 2025. Looking forward to join a great scientific community @IFink_lab @schwarzland_lab and others!
I am so excited that this is work is published! Please check out this tour-de-force of @CManzanoF which describes the development, function and genetic regulation of the tomato exodermis. Bonus - this cell wall barrier is actively repressed in inner cortical layers.
New OA Article: Regulation and function of a polarly localized lignin barrier in the exodermis rdcu.be/d2eLI Tomato roots: the exodermis is a genetically distinct polar lignin cap (PLC) barrier from the Casparian strip. SCZ and EXO1 repress PLC deposition. @bradylabs
It is out! We identified the stem cell factors of the vascular cambium. This work is a result of fruitful collaboration with @khwjtuss and @peter_etchells labs. @ERC_Research @TreeBioCoE @SuomenAkatemia @BioEnvHelsinki @helsinkiuni @durham_uni @UniUtrecht science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Join us this December in beautiful Hawaii for an incredible Synthetic Biology conference! Don’t miss the chance to present your work—abstracts are due by October 1. Travel grants are available for presenters, so apply today! #SynBio #Conference #Hawaii
Abstract due on Oct 1 Hawaii, Dec. 9-12, 2024 >20 amazing confirmed speakers! Young researchers: Let's share your work. 24 talk spots are waiting for you! Only presenters (oral or poster) will be eligible for a travel grant. @JCVenterInst @TheBioMADE jcvi.org/events/synbyss
@UNC Chapel Hill’s @UNC_Biology is hiring a cluster of tenure track Assistant Professors: two in Plant Molecular Biology and one in Plant Evolutionary Biology. We're a vibrant community of awesome colleagues and an idyllic place to live. Please repost! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/288640
#Devbio folks: NICHD is starting Strategic planning. It is essential that you weigh in and stress funding basic research into mechanisms of development across a wide range of research organisms is essential! The RFI is open for public comment until FRIDAY tiny.cc/c6anzz
We are near the 1 year anniversary of the death of my mentor, Philip Benfey. Several of his mentees and colleagues shared our personal insights into the person Philip was - his actions, vision and leadership that enabled spectacular science and training rdcu.be/dUbLe
Dear plant biologists - does anyone have Gellan Gum from Spectrum Chemical that they would be willing to share? We are doing a 10 month experiment and mid-way through the company will only now sell this in industrial quantities. If so - please DM me, pretty please!
Postdoc position alert - in Alex Cantó-Pastor's NEW lab at Yale. While we will miss him greatly, a new postdoc will be sure to benefit from his mentorship and will get to participate in a very exciting project at the intersection of development and immunity. @acantopastor

Check out this great opportunity for a PI/faculty position in Irapuato. I have always been greatly impressed by the research and scientists at this institution. This position is targeted for women and will provide a much needed increase on the way to gender parity.
🚨OPEN POSITION🚨 Principal Investigator/Faculty Member (Women only) Cinvestav UGA-Langebio, Irapuato, Mexico. #Academic #jobs
The field of developmental biology is in transition. Provide your input on funding, collaboration, pedagogy and more. Be part of the change and complete this survey to usher dev bio into a secure and transformative future , and retweet! - tinyurl.com/yryzavys . .
Wow - what an incredible day @HHMINEWS learning the ropes as an Investigator, meeting fellow cohort members and the HHMI science support and administrative team. It was an extra honor to join with fellow plant biologists @Dinnenylab and Mary Gehring. Thanks for supporting 🌱HHMI!

If you know @K_Bioguy_Cox & how brilliant of a scientist he is, you would be shocked to hear that his career trajectory includes people questioning his belonging. This news is a big deal. I cannot think of any other U.S.-born Plant Molecular Bio. Black male faculty.
#NewPI Update: Yesterday was July 1st, meaning I'm officially an Assistant Professor at @WUSTLBio and an Assistant Member at @DanforthCenter ! Feels surreal to have my dream job. Time to make this an exciting year 1 as a faculty member!
I'm thrilled to share that I'll be joining @Yale as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology @MCDB_Yale in January 2025! (1/3)
