Arabidopsis is a small plant, in the same family as canola. A ribosome is the natural nano machine, found in all living cells, that is responsible for the conversion of the information stored as DNA in the nucleus, into proteins capable of doing work within the cell, tissue or organism. The two subunits (large: LSU and small: SSU) of a ribosome are themselves comprised of proteins located on an internal scaffold of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) - like the siding, windows and doors on the framing of a house. My research programme is focused on understanding ribosome biogenesis in Arabidopsis, and how it effects overall plant growth & development.

拟南芥是一种小型植物，与油菜属于同一家族。核糖体是一种天然的纳米机器，存在于所有活细胞中，负责将细胞核中储存的DNA信息转化为能够在细胞、组织或生物体内工作的蛋白质。两个分股（大：LSU和小型：核糖体中的核糖核酸（SSU）本身由位于核糖体RNA（rRNA）内部支架上的蛋白质组成-就像房屋框架上的壁板，窗户和门一样。我的研究项目主要是了解拟南芥中的核糖体生物发生，以及它如何影响整个植物的生长和发育。
