Arielle has a BA in Biology from Brown University in Providence, RI. She received a PhD in Plant Biology from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY studying genomics, reproductive development, and specialized defensive cells in the emerging model plant petty spurge (Euphorbia peplus). Arielle is interested in the spatial and developmental aspects of how plants make specialized metabolites and coordinate defense. She hopes to use synbio techniques to manipulate defensive cells in Arabidopsis. Her favorite plants include bladderworts, Hydnora, and honey locust trees.
