Zachary Berndsen
The Berndsen Lab focuses on utilizing and developing state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) techniques in combination with other biochemical, molecular, and computational tools to interrogate the structure and function of important biomolecular systems within the context of human disease. Our aim is to create bridges between basic and translational science with the goal of making discoveries that will both strengthen our fundamental understanding of these systems and accelerate the development of potentially life-saving therapies. To do so, we will not only rely on internal expertise but engage in extensive collaboration with other research laboratories both on the Mizzou campus and…

Bradley Wilson
My PhD research focused on soil and foliar applied nutrients in high-yielding cotton production systems, cover crop establishment and management in dryland cotton production systems, and evaluation of leaf and bract trichome density effects upon cotton fiber quality. The goal of my program is to provide timely research-based information for cotton producers that can be used as decision-making tools in their operation to increase productivity and profitability. Research will focus on agronomic practices in cotton production, including on-farm cultivar evaluations, nutrient management practices, pest management practices, and cultural management strategies such as planting date, seeding rate, cover crop utilization…
