Research summary

Jeffrey P. Simpson's research focuses on plant biochemistry, particularly how plants build and store fats (lipids) such as triacylglycerols, including unusual cases like the wax coating on bayberry fruit. His work also touches on plant stress responses and metabolic pathways studied using biochemical and gene-expression methods. This research would suit students interested in plant metabolism, lipid biosynthesis, and molecular biochemistry.
