Julia Frugoli serves as an Alumni Professor in the Department of Genetics and Biochemistry at Clemson University's College of Science, where she leads research on plant-microbe interactions with emphasis on symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes using Medicago truncatula as a model system. Her educational credentials include: PhD in Plant Pathology & Microbiology from Texas A&M University (2000) PhD in Biological Sciences from Dartmouth College (1998) BS in Biology and Chemistry from Gordon College (1988) Dr. Frugoli's research program investigates how plants sense nitrogen needs and balance them with carbon resources through molecular genetic analysis of nodule development regulation. She specializes in identifying plant genes, hormones, and environmental signals involved in root-shoot communication pathways during symbiosis, with findings applicable to all plants. Her work employs advanced techniques including laser capture microdissection and transcriptome analysis to unravel decision-making processes in plant environmental responses. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a concentrated focus on temporal dynamics of nodulation signaling, with strong emphasis on CLE peptide pathways, autoregulation mechanisms, and cross-talk between symbiotic systems. Her research integrates molecular genetics, signal transduction, and bioinformatics to map communication networks between roots and shoots during early symbiotic events. She actively mentors graduate researchers including PhD candidate Jacklyn Thomas and MS student Rakshya Shah, directing laboratory work that utilizes cutting-edge genomic approaches to dissect plant-microbe communication. Her team has developed specialized protocols for plant transformation and spatially resolved gene expression analysis in legume systems. Dr. Frugoli maintains active engagement with the scientific community through memberships in the American Society of Plant Biologists, Genetics Society of America, and other professional organizations, regularly presenting her work at major international conferences on plant science and symbiosis.

Mara Artibani is a Lecturer in Biology at Jesus College, University of Oxford , and a Senior Postdoc in the Ovarian Cancer Cell Laboratory . Her research focuses on improving ovarian cancer outcomes by targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) and identifying non-invasive biomarkers for early detection. She uses single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize genomic and transcriptomic subtypes of fallopian tube epithelial cells , the origin of serous ovarian cancer. Her work demonstrates how non-genetic heterogeneity (NGH) drives tumor resilience and poor prognosis, particularly in EMT-high subtypes . Key findings include cell-state transitions in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and validation of KRT17-positive secretory cell subtypes with immunofluorescence markers. Her publications reveal trends in EMT-based risk stratification and cell-state deconvolution of 1,700+ tumors. These studies highlight Wnt signaling perturbations , stromal interactions , and non-genetic tumor heterogeneity as critical for therapeutic strategies. She has contributed to Cell , Cancer Cell , and Clinical Cancer Research , emphasizing the need to refine prognostic classifications by integrating cell-of-origin biology with transcriptomic signatures . Her laboratory work includes organoid culture systems and Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) to validate EMT-high tumor subtypes through SPARC and HLA-DR expression. This approach has identified 12 marker genes for robust tumor stratification, now being tested in OXO-PCR cohort studies.
