In a project titled “Elucidating the Genetic Basis of the Plant 20-Hydroxyecdysone Biosynthesis Pathway,” Keck Scholar Adam Jozwiak, an assistant professor of molecular biochemistry in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, and Keck Trainee Sarah Lam are studying the...

The 5th International Summer School on Non-target Metabolomics for Natural Products and Microbiome Research will be held at the University of Denver (DU) in Denver, CO this summer June 15-19, 2026. The event will host approximately 65 international students (both...

Cells must continuously adjust metabolic output to maintain homeostasis under changing environmental conditions, yet the mechanisms that enable rapid and reversible control of pathway activity remain largely unknown. The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, of bacterial origin and conserved in plastid-bearing...

Mien’s continued scientific journey is truly inspiring. Even after stepping into retirement two years ago, she has continued her work in the Dehesh Lab, producing impactful science. In her just-published PNAS manuscript, “Metabolite Control of Enzyme Activity Links Stress to...
