Lucia Strader, PhD
Professor of Biology
Associate Professor of Cell Biology, Trinity College of Arts & Sciences
The Strader Lab focuses on how plants integrate environmental cues to drive plant growth and development through the plant hormone auxin. Auxin - a critical plant hormone - controls both cell division and cell expansion and thereby orchestrates many developmental events and environmental responses. Understanding the molecular details of how auxin ‘works’ will reveal strategies plants use to alter growth in response to environmental stimuli.
