Speaker

Dr. Marc Libault is a Professor in the Division of Plant Science and Technology, and a member of the Interdisciplinary Plant Group at the University of Missouri-Columbia (USA). He received his Ph.D. degree in 2004 from the University of Paris-Sud in Plant Cellular and Molecular Biology, working on the HP1-like protein in Arabidopsis thaliana. In 2005, he joined Dr. Gary Stacey’s laboratory at the University of Missouri-Columbia as a post-doctoral associate to study the nodulation process in legumes. In 2011, as a faculty member at the University of Oklahoma, Dr. Libault developed a systems biology approach to the root hair cell. In 2018, he joined the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and pioneered the field of plant single-nucleus technologies. As a faculty member at the University of Missouri-Columbia, he is expanding the use of plant single-nucleus biology to study various species and stresses, including legumes, to study their symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria
