Postdoctoral Scientist
Akari Maeda
Bio
I am interested in how individual plant cells sense and respond to environmental changes, particularly pathogen invasion.
During my PhD, I studied how the circadian clock maintains robustness to environmental fluctuations at the whole-plant level, which led me to recognize the importance of local, cell-type-specific responses that may be overlooked in population-level analyses.
I aim to uncover how single-cell responses to pathogen invasion are coordinated across cells and tissues using single-cell multi-omics approaches.
