Dr. Marand aims to understand the dynamic genome regulation that governs reproducible development of highly complex morphological structures in plants. His lab is particularly focused on the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation, changes in patterns, and the magnitude of gene expression contributing to molecular, cellular, and organismal phenotypic diversity. His research addresses questions using state-of-the-art genomics methods at the single-cell level while developing new experimental and computational approaches to gain unprecedented insight into the molecular bases of cell identity and cell fate decisions. He applies principles of population quantitative genetics to single-cell data and is interested in understanding how evolution is shaped by the regulatory landscapes of plants. Dr. Marand obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018 and was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Georgia from 2018 to 2023, during which he received the NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology and the NIH Pathway Independence Award (K99/R00).
