Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am working with Botryococcus braunii, a species of freshwater microscopic algae. This organism is unique among plants in that it secretes copious amounts of oil that is chemically analogous to petroleum. This organism may be the key to developing a cheap and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but we do not yet have the tools to engineer or optimize its oil production. My work aims to bridge this gap.

Lianna Wat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioLianna obtained her Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology in Dr. Elizabeth Rideout’s lab at the University of British Columbia in 2021 where she studied the sex-specific regulation of fat metabolism using Drosophila as a model system. Lianna is bringing her expertise on sex differences and fat metabolism to the Svensson lab where she is interested in understanding in discovering secreted metabolic effectors that regulate male-female differences in energy metabolism and the development of metabolic disease

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway polarizes animal cells along an axis parallel to the tissue plane, and in so doing generates long-range organization that can span entire tissues. Although its core proteins and much about their interactions are known, how PCP signaling occurs at a mechanistic level remains fundamentally mysterious. In my current project I will employ novel genetic methods to dissect the logic underlying how cellular asymmetry arises at a molecular level.
