Director of Arizona Genomics Institute is guest at Young Researchers Lunch

The Young Researchers Lunch on 6 May 2014 hosted Dr. Rod Wing.

Dr. Wing is a professor at the University of Arizona, USA, Director of the Arizona Genomics Institute, and recently appointed AXA-endowed scientist at IRRI for Genome Biology and Evolutionary Genomics.

He answered many of the group's questions about genome sequencing and he listened to their ideas about phenotyping stategies. Participants were Tanay Joshi, Nurul Hidayatun, Frederickson D. Entila, Anchilie Francisco, Vito Butardo Jr., and Christian Paolo Balahadia.

The Young Researchers Lunch is a monthly meeting for NRS and AFSTRI scientists who are in the early stages of their career. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for discussions with senior scientists on a range of topics including science and career paths.
