Undergraduate Research Assistant Opportunity: Investigating the Molecular Basis Underlying Regulation of Plant Immunity by Ubiquitination

Our laboratory is currently seeking a highly motivated junior or senior undergraduate student to join our research project focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing plant immunity. This project involves study of targeting components of the plant endosomal sorting complex required for transportation (ESCRT)-I by ubiquitination to better understand their role in regulating plant defense against bacterial infection.
