Nikolau group PhD student Xinyu Fu has created an educational video explaining plant fats and oils. This is an independent project created for the ASPB (American Society of Plant Biologists) Conviron Scholars Program that aims at communicating plant science to the broader public. 

IPB graduate student Xinyu Fu was selected to participate in a program organized by ASPB, the ASPB Conviron Scholars program, which provides learning programs for career development and benefits associated with ASPB membership and meetings. Xinyu studies the dynamics of acetyl-CoA metabolic network in plants in Dr. Basil Nikolau’s group. Her work takes advantage of both traditional reverse genetics and stable-isotope assisted metabolomics techniques to investigate the roles of acetyl-CoA-generating enzymes in distinct subcellular compartments. She is glad to share her experience with fellows who are interested in applying this program next year.
