Dmitri A. Nusinow joined the Danforth Plant Science Center in March 2012 as an Assistant Member and Principle Investigator. He received his B.S. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from University of California – Los Angeles and attended graduate school at the University of California – San Francisco where he obtained a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Dmitri studied as a post-doctoral fellow with Steve Kay, Ph.D. first at the Scripps Research Institute, then at the University of California – San Diego, beginning in 2007.
" Dmitri’s research is focused on understanding how the circadian clock is integrated with environmental signals to control growth, physiology and development. This increased understanding of the mechanisms underlying plant growth and development will help improve their use as feed, food and fuel stocks."
