Dr. Keiko Torii

Principal Investigator

She is the lab head. The extreme coffee addict, dedicates her life for exciting Arabidopsis research!
Dr. Amanda Rychel

Postdoctoral Researcher

Amanda earned her Ph.D. in Dr. Billie Swalla lab here in UW Biology, studying evo-devo of hemichordates. Amanda is enjoying plant molecular genetics. She is investigating the function and regulation of SCRM/ICE1, the 'dual' master regulator of plant development and environmental response.

Dr. Takeshi Kuroha

Postdoctoral Researcher

Takeshi earned his Ph.D. in Dr. Shinobu Satoh lab at Univ. Tsukuba, Japan. He then did a postdoc at RIKEN Plant Science Center with Dr. Hitoshi Sakakibara, studying the role fo cytokinin activating enzymes in Arabidopsis.
Dr. Jin Suk Lee

Postdoctoral Researcher

Jin Suk earned his Ph.D. in Dr. Brian Ellis' lab at UBC, where she identified the targets of MAPK phosphatases in plant hormonal and environmental stress signaling.
Jessica Guseman

Research Technician

Jessica is a Washington native and earned a B.S. in Biology (option Plant Biology) and a B.A. in Spanish from UW. She gladly accepted an offer to rejoin the lab and is now working on managing the lab, chromosome walking, and helping with several other projects.
Kylee Peterson

Graduate Student, Biology NSF Graduate Research FellowKylee is back in the Torii lab as a graduate student! She made a key contributions to our stomatal ligand project and recent, microarray analysis to decipher molecular signatures that represent stomatal stem cell state.
