DESCRIPTION:The Plant Science Department invites you to a seminar by Dr. Ra
 din Sadre\, Department of Horticulture\, Michigan State University\n\nPlan
 ts synthesize a multitude of compounds that contribute to their fitness an
 d survival. Among the specialized metabolites\, alkaloids and terpenoids s
 how the highest structural and functional diversity and have a wide range 
 of applications e.g. as pharmaceuticals\, biofuels\, and fragrances. They 
 are often synthesized by unknown and complex\, multi-step pathways. Dr Sad
 re will present three success stories from her work that exemplify how “om
 ics”-based approaches advanced our understanding of the biosynthesis and m
 etabolic diversity of alkaloids in non-model plants and how “nature’s tool
 box” can be used for synthetic biology to produce high-value biomaterials 
 in plants.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nRadin Sadre obtained her Ph.D. from the
  RWTH Aachen University in Germany. Following independent research activit
 ies in collaboration with the agrochemical company Syngenta\, Dr. Sadre jo
 ined Michigan State University and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Cent
 er. Her research focuses on discovery of plant specialized metabolic pathw
 ays\, including those of medicinal alkaloids and terpenoids\, and plant sy
 nthetic biology. She developed novel approaches to engineer production of 
 high-value terpenoids in plant leaf lipid droplets\, recently published in
  the journal Nature Communications.\n
