Patricia C. Zambryski is a plant and microbial scientist known for her work on Type IV secretion and cell-to-cell transport in plants. She is also professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.[1]
She was an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Society for Microbiology.
Education and career[edit]
Zambryski received her B.S. from McGill University in 1969, and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado in 1974.[2][3]
Research[edit]
Zambryski is known for her work in the field of genetic engineering, specifically for her work with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a bacterium she uses to track the molecular mechanisms that change plants and how plant cells communicate with each other.[3] She has examined the structure of plant cells that have been altered by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.[4] While working in Marc Van Montagu's lab, Zambryski determined how the Ti plasmid is identified by the bacterium, and she developed a vector that allowed the transfer of genetic material into a plant without altering the plant tissue.[5][6] This advance was used to inject novel genes into plants.[7] She has also examined plasmodesmata, which are the channels that reach across the spaces in plant cells.[8][9]
