 Changes in Administrative Staff - CSHL Fellow
Marja Timmermans joined the Laboratory in June as a CSHL Fellow. The CSHL Fellow program provides an outstanding opportunity for talented scientists who have recently received their Ph.D. or M.D. degrees to establish strong independent research programs. Each CSHL Fellow has a lab and technician, as well as access to all of the resources of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Marja earned her Ph.D. in the lab of Jo Messing, at the Waksman Institute at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Marja is a maize geneticist who has focused on discovering and understanding the genes involved in maize leaf development. She has studied two such genes, leafbladeless 1 and rough sheath 2, which are required for leaves to grow into their proper shapes.
