 Dr. R.J. Neil Emery (nemery@trentu.ca)Professor - Biology Associate Vice President of Research Dr. Emery was appointed as a faculty member of Trent University in 2000 and has made use of the WQC throughout his appointment. He is currently Director of the Environmental and Life Sciences Graduate Program. Dr. Emery specializes in plant physiology and biochemistry. His research concentrates on the physiology of organ specific processes (seed set and filling, branching, root water uptake, leaf stomatal conductance) and how they interact at the whole-plant level. Investigations, so far, have involved everything from small herbs to crops and mature trees. The results have implications for crop farming practice and the well-being of natural ecosystems. His laboratory primarily makes use of LC(ES)-MS-MS to identify and quantify members of different plant hormone families, including the cytokinins and related purine-based compounds, gibberellins, auxins and abscisic acid.
