Tenai Eguen, UCSD

I am a second year graduate student in the Cell and Developmental Biology Department at the University of California, San Diego. I received a B.S degree in Biochemistry and molecular biology and a B.A in Business Management Economics from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I am currently a Plant systems biology IGERT fellow in Dr Steve Briggs and Dr Bernard Palsson’s lab. My research focuses on the role of redox signaling in plant resistance against pathogen infection. My work involves the use of mass spectrometry to identify proteins that are redox regulated during pathogen infection. I am also studying the models of plant metabolism during infection.
