Hello! My name is Conner Chu, and I'm grew up in Northwest Arkansas. I joined the Rojas lab in 2021 and I have been working as technician investigating the functions of the plant endomembrane system in defense responses and how the Pseudomonas syringae type III effectors interfere with these processeses. I will be starting my PhD in Complex Biosystems in the Spring of 2023. My biggest passion in science is microscopy, which I focus heavily on in the lab.
