SEATTLE AREA MODEL PLANT LABS

About us

SAMPL (Seattle Area Model Plant Labs) is a group of researchers at the greater Seattle area using genetic, genomic, molecular, cellular, biochemical and developmental tools to study plant systems. Our quarterly seminars provide the opportunity to hear about exciting science and to foster interactions within the local research community. Everyone is welcome to join in. Refreshments will be served (with donations) during/after the seminar.
Co-organizers: Jennifer Nemhauser and Keiko Torii
