<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has already scheduled a time to meet with Dr. Gitta Coaker next week. If you haven't had a chance, I am looking for 1 or 2 more people interested in joining Gitta for the dinner on Tuesday evening. There's a link to her schedule
below.</div>

Plants can be infected by all pathogen classes. Research in my laboratory is focused on pathogens that colonize above ground plant parts. We use a combination of genetic, biochemical, and microscopy-based approaches to investigate mechanisms controlling plant
immune signaling and pathogen virulence. First, I will focus on our work investigating plant responses to pathogen infection at single-cell resolution. Using single-cell RNA sequencing technology we profiled ~12,000 individual leaf cells upon infection with
the bacterial pathogen <i class="x_ContentPasted2">Pseudomonas syringae</i> coupled with spatial investigation. We identified pathogen responsive clusters programmed for immunity and susceptibility in distinct areas of the leaf uncovering heterogeneity in
host response to pathogens within a tissue. Next, I will focus on our work investigating how phloem-limited bacterial pathogens manipulate plant physiology and metabolism to facilitate disease transmission. </p>
