🌱I'm thrilled to share that I will start my lab at Caltech in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering this August! We'll investigate the cellular dynamics that drive organ development, focusing on the critical transitions between cell proliferation and differentiation

Targeted DNA insertion remains a major bottleneck in plant engineering. We developed the R2 retrotransposon as an efficient plant genome editor to precisely insert large DNA payloads at targeted sites:

Another great collaboration with @NemanjaVukas and @TNPlantBio where we give our view on how brassinosteroid research can pave the way to precision plant engineering science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… 🌱🌱🌱
It was great to talk science and show @thisisbillgates around our lab at @Caltech . Nolan and Meyerowitz lab postdoc Donovan Phua's regenerating callus is featured 🌱 instagram.com/reel/DQo2penEW…
Our new review in Science @ScienceMagazine is out with @jennyrussinova and @NemanjaVukas. We discuss how precise modulation of brassinosteroid signaling can enable more targeted, predictable improvements in plant growth and resilience.

Highly recommended. Congrats, Mingyuan!
Excited to share that the Zhu Lab will officially open at Texas A&M University on August 1st, 2025! Actively recruiting!

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the resulting daughter cells identical? Using live-cell imaging and scRNA seq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. @TNPlantBio @NemanjaVukas @CheweiHsu16 Read our full paper in Cell doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.…
🌱 Thrilled to see our latest collaborative work with @jennyrussinova @NemanjaVukas @CheweiHsu16 in @CellCellPress! By combining single-cell RNA-seq and live imaging, we uncovered previously hidden brassinosteroid signaling states. doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2025.…
We dedicate this study to my postdoctoral mentor Philip Benfey—a visionary in plant developmental biology whose groundbreaking contributions and unwavering mentorship enabled so many scientific careers, including mine.

My department has two open Asst. Prof searches:
Plant Systems Biology or Biotechnology (aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF02016)
and Translational Plant Sciences (aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF02015).
Join us for this exciting series on plant cell types and states! We have an excellent lineup of speakers to stimulate discussion around these topics. @NatanellaE @RachelMShahan @KenBirnbaum @acantopastor @Marand_Lab @jwalley @JustinWWalley @KeikoUTorii @kaisakajala @molivarina
Introducing the Plant Cell Identity Webinar Series hosted by the PCA! Starting November 12th, this series discusses how to define plant cell types and states quantitatively and qualitatively using single-cell and spatial omics approaches. Register today: bit.ly/PCAPCI_Webinar

Our manuscript is now out in @ScienceAdvances. In this study, we aimed to determine the nature of the proposed non-cell-autonomous effects of BRI1. (1/5) science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

My postdoctoral work is published online today! Thanks to Dr. Lucia Strader(@LabStrader) for the excellent mentorship. Big thanks to all my colleagues who supported my work. Thanks to Dr. Philip Benfey and Dr. Guy Wachsman for all the suggestions to improvise the manuscript.
What regulates plant de novo organogenesis? Led by postdoc Suresh Damodaran, we discover that not all hypocotyl cells are equally competent to create a new root meristem after excision of the primary root.
