Nationally, Native American enrollment in postsecondary programs is less than one percent, so Berkeley Lab launched an ambitious internship program to help boost representation by recruiting students from Arizona State University to work at the Lab. Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Division Science Deputy Trent Northen helps lead the program. Meet this summer’s Biosciences Area interns.
Introducing RhizoNet: AI-driven Plant Root Analysis
Berkeley Lab scientists from the Applied Mathematics and Computational Research (AMCR) and Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Divisions developed RhizoNet, which harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the process of root image analysis with exceptional accuracy.
Machine Learning Uncovers New Targets for Plant Engineering
Machine learning has a variety of applications in scientific research, from rapidly analyzing datasets to making predictions. At the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), researchers are using machine learning to find new proteins that play a role in plant gene expression — providing the scientific community with new avenues to explore in bioenergy crop engineering.
Two Scientists Join Ranks of AAAS Fellows
Two senior scientists in the Biosciences Area, Jian-Hua Mao and Trent Northen, are newly named Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Toward Engineering Cell-like Factories
Cheryl Kerfeld’s laboratory, which operates at both Michigan State University and Berkeley Lab, teamed up with researchers at Pennsylvania State University and the University of Delaware to take a first step toward creating artificial cells that lack a lipid membrane.
