We moved to New York University!

We’re in the midst of rebuilding our website: please email if you have any questions about our research or openings.

In July 2021, the lab packed up our >10,000 bacteria stocks and >3,000 seed stocks in Chicago and moved across the country to our new home at NYU. We’ve been establishing our lab in the the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology (CGSB) building, NYU’s recently-renovated science facility located near Washington Square.

We are enjoying getting to know our new colleagues. The Purugganan lab kindly showed us around the NY Botanical Gardens.

We’ve also been working hard to get our new facilities up and running, including our new growth chambers.

Of course, the move wasn’t complete until we found a nearby pub to celebrate publications (…or lament a failed PCR…) and we saw a local baseball game!

We look forward to our upcoming research projects at NYU. Please email if you’re interested in learning more!
