Austin Alt
As a student in the Molecular Plant Sciences program at WSU, I am interested in utilizing genetic techniques to harness natural biological processes for novel applications. Currently I research the biosynthesis of unique volatile compounds in Cannabis sativa as well as other relevant organisms. Ideally this work will lead to deeper understandings of molecular mechanisms underlying complex aromas – and potentially also improve sustainable agriculture in the process.
