معرفی
Rich Hilleary is a Research Scientist in the Department of Biology at Duke University's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. His work focuses on plant signal transduction mechanisms during stress responses.
- Current Appointments: Research Scientist, Biology Department, Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, Duke University
Research Interests: Dr. Hilleary investigates calcium signaling networks in plant-pathogen interactions, examining how abiotic factors modulate immune responses. His work bridges molecular biology, plant physiology, and climate adaptation studies.
Publications Trends: Recent research explores temperature-sensitive immunity mechanisms, calcium transporters, ROS receptors, and protein complexes regulating stress responses. Key themes include plant defense signaling, ion homeostasis, and climate-resilient crop development.
Scientific Awards:
- Fellowship from Department of Agriculture (2021-2024) for studying temperature-sensitive nodes in plant immune systems
Grants: Principal Investigator for USDA grant on temperature adaptation in plant immunity.
