Lab Members

Christine Queitsch, Group Leader

Christine answers emails, writes grants, and generally distracts everybody with new ideas all the time. Sometimes she makes herself useful by planting (not just planning!) our large quantitative genetics experiments.

Etsuko Watanabe, Postdoctoral Researcher

Etsuko is interested in identifying and characterizing Hsp90 clients and co-chaperones in plants. She uses Y2H and mass spectrometry analyses of protein extracts from plants containing tagged Hsp90s.

Soledad Undurraga, Postdoctoral Researcher

Soledad has identified natural variation in Tandem repeat (TR) length in several interesting genes. For some candidates, this natural variation correlates to previously identified phenotypic variation. Soledad is currently testing causality by generating transgenic plants with varying repeat lengths.

Janne Lempe, Postdoctoral Researcher and EMBO Fellow

Janne is using quantitative genetics to identify Hsp90-dependent polymorphisms and determine if these show signature of selection. She is interested in fine-mapping loci that primarily affect trait variance rather than trait mean. Janne also set out to identify other molecular mechanisms that may buffer genetic variation and developmental stability.
