About Dr. Bonnie Bartel
Dr. Bonnie Bartel received her B.A. in Biology from Bethel College in Kansas before moving to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for her PhD studies of the yeast ubiquitin system with Dr. Alexander Varshavsky. She was an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr. Gerald Fink at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, where she began studying auxin metabolism in the reference plant Arabidopsis thaliana. She is currently the Ralph and Dorothy Looney Professor in the Biosciences Department at Rice University in Houston, Texas. Dr. Bartel’s research group has studied auxin metabolism and microRNA functions, and they currently investigate the functions, dynamics, and interactions of plant peroxisomes, complex compartments that carry out critical metabolism while protecting other parts of the cell from oxidative damage.
