| dc.description.sponsorship | Ksenia Krasileva holds both BS and PhD degrees from University of California Berkeley where she studied plant–microbe interactions as well as genomic and computational biology focusing on Arabidopsis as a model pathosystem in laboratory of Prof Brian Staskawicz. During her postdoc with Prof Jorge Dubcovsky at University of California Davis, she focused on wheat genomics. Supported by USDA NIFA Postdoctoral Fellowship, she led the development of wheat exome capture and sequenced over 3000 mutant wheat lines cataloguing mutations in an openly available reverse genetics database. Krasileva started her own group in 2014 at Earlham Institute and The Sainsbury Laboratory in the United Kingdom continuing work on wheat genomic and starting an independent research program on the evolution of plant immune system. Krasileva is the first recipient of the international Carlotta award for her contribution to wheat research. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at UC Berkeley. Krasileva Lab at Berkeley maintains research interests in the biology of genomes, including both plants and microbes, as well as evolution and function of plant innate immunity. https://krasilevalab.org . Benjamin Schwessinger studied biochemistry in Leipzig Germany before becoming fascinated by plants. Benjamin switched to plant science half way through his degree and graduated from the beautiful University of Glasgow with a first-class honours Bachelor of Science. He obtained his PhD from the University of East Anglia working at the Sainsbury Laboratory with Dr Cyril Zipfel investigating receptor kinase mediate immune signaling in Arabidopsis. He move to sunny California to work with Prof Pamela Ronald at the University of California, Davis. During this time, he mostly worked on immune signalling in rice while being supported by EMBO and HFSP postdoctoral fellowships. Looking for new frontiers, Benjamin moved to work on the genome biology and evolution of plant pathogenic rust fungi at the Australian National University, Canberra. His initial move was support by an Australian Research Council DECRA award to work in the laboratory of Prof John Rathjen. In 2018, Benjamin became fully independent supported by an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship and he is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Australian National University. His team focuses on genome evolution and host adaptation of rust fungi in addition to other aspects of plant and fungal biology. http://teamschwessinger.com/ . | en |
