Jennifer Nemhauser, Assistant Professor
jn7 at u.washington.edu
office: 206 543 0753, lab: 206 543 4845
Before coming to Seattle, Jennifer did her postdoctoral work in the laboratory of Joanne Chory. While there, she initiated several projects aimed at dissecting interactions between plant hormone pathways and between hormones and light. Jennifer did her doctoral work at the University of California with Pat Zambryski, studying the role of the hormone auxin on gynoecium development. When not in the lab, Jennifer loves to hear live music (so many cool venues in Seattle), eat great food (ditto for Seattle restaurants) and see sublime art.

Jodi received B.S. degrees in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Chemistry from the University of California Santa Cruz in 2005. She was converted to molecular biology by the fantastic training she received from Dr. Simon Chan as a technician in his UC Davis lab. She is excited to explore the interaction between light and hormones and wants to gain an appreciation for how plants use small molecules to initiate appropriate growth responses. Jodi loves to watch stupid movies and cartoons, hike the magical Cascades, play the ukulele, and is a novice naturalist.
