Le Liu
Ph.D. student (Plant Biology) lliu4 _at_umass.edu I am always interested in exploring functions in different cell types. I would like to combine cell biology techniques and computational methods to figure out important genes functioning in stomatal development and movement. When I am not in the lab, I enjoy running, reading novels, and culturing plants. |

Interested in joining the lab?
Undergraduate students: You are welcome to contact Dr. Facette directly. However, please be aware the the primary route for accepting undergrads in the lab is through the UMass BUA program. Please see: https://bua.bio.umass.edu/ . We are very enthusiastic about adding new undergraduate researchers to the lab!
Potential Ph.D. Students: If you are a 1st year UMass PB or MCB graduate student looking for a rotation, please contact me directly. We are happy to have you rotate. If you are a prospective graduate student, all graduate students are admitted at UMass through a central admissions committee. After 1 year of rotations, students choose a lab. Please see the Plant Biology (http://gpls.cns.umass.edu/pb/admissions) or Molecular and Cellular Biology (http://gpls.cns.umass.edu/mcb/admissions) website for more information on applying
Potential Post-doctoral Researchers: Please contact Michelle directly. If applying, please include your C.V. and a cover letter specifically outlining your past research experiences, and why you are interested in joining this lab in particular, and projects or areas you might be interested in.
