ResearchGate : Profile

Anthony Bryan

Postdoctoral Research Associate

  • PhD Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Arizona, 2011
  • B.S. Biology, Emory University, 2000

Research Interests:

    Molecular and cellular biologist experienced in deciphering signaling pathways, validating targets from GWAS analyses and applying various molecular techniques to research problems in plant-environment interactions, genomics, bioenergy crop production and agricultural crop sustainability. I am interested in utilizing my expertise to continue research in crop sustainability with the goal of uncovering products, methods or technologies that can be employed in the agricultural industry. With cross-discipline research the name of the game, I am dedicated to interacting across scientific fields to provide immediate deliverables to work towards enhanced crop sustainability.
