Dr. James Umen is a Joseph Varner Distinguished Investigator at Danforth Center Principal Investigator, member of Enterprise Rent-a-Car Institute for Renewable Fuels and honorary Adjunct Professor of Biology in Washington University in St. Louis. He received his B.S. in Stanford University and PhD at University of California San Francisco. He moved to Dr. Ursula Goodenough’s laboratory at Washington University as a postdoc to work on the mechanism of chloroplast DNA inheritance and its control by mating type in the green alga Chlamydomonas. His laboratory is interested in using algae as a primary experimental system to study cell size control, cell growth regulation and carbon partitioning, and evolution of multicellularity. He utilizes the unique properties of the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and its multicellular relatives, including Volvox carteri, to investigate questions at the interfaces of evolution, developmental biology, cell biology, and metabolism.
