Dr. Buell’s research program focuses on the genome biology of plants including comparative genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology. She has worked on the genomes of Arabidopsis, rice, potato, maize, mints, and medicinal plants. She has done pioneering work on potato genomics and genetics, facilitating development of genome sequences, analysis of genetic diversity, identification of genes involved in domestication, and development of potato dihaploids. She has pioneered the use of single cell omics datasets in the discovery of plant natural production biosynthetic pathways. Using synthetic biology approaches, her lab is engaged in constructing plants for use in sustainable production of bioproducts, biomaterials, and biofuels in diverse crop systems. With expertise in bioinformatics, one component of Dr. Buell’s research is provision of databases and web-based data-mining tools for the greater scientific community. |
