Joshua Gendron

Joshua Gendron, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology with Tenure at Yale University. His research focuses on daily and seasonal timing mechanisms in plants, particularly the interplay of protein degradation and daily timing. His lab uses reverse genetics and biochemistry in the model plant Arabidopsis to investigate how plants sense and respond to environmental cues. His work is supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Gendron previously studied the brassinosteroid signaling pathway in Arabidopsis and investigated transcriptional networks in the circadian clock of Arabidopsis. He was funded by a Ruth L. Kirchstein NRTSA award from the NIH and spent time as a visiting scholar at the University of California, San Diego.

Joshua Gendron is an Associate Professor at Yale University, specializing in plant biology. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant growth regulation, particularly the role of brassinosteroids in signaling pathways. He investigates how transcription factors like BZR1 mediate growth responses and feedback suppression of brassinosteroid biosynthesis. Additionally, his work explores the circadian clock's role in plant development, including the function of proteins such as TOC1 and the regulation of photoperiodic responses. Gendron's research also examines the interplay between plant hormones and environmental signals, such as light and sugar, to understand how plants adapt to changing conditions.
