Welcome to Maeda Lab!

We are interested in understanding how plants allocate available carbon, fixed by photosynthesis, to the production of a variety of downstream metabolic compounds. In particular, our research focuses on understanding the enzyme organization and regulatory mechanisms of the plant shikimate and aromatic amino acid pathways, to which up to 30% of total carbon is directed for the production of numerous plant metabolites (e.g., lignin, flavonoids, antioxidants, alkaloids). read more

Lab News

• Maeda Lab is starting in the Fall 2011 at the Department of Botany, Univ of Wisconsin-Madison. If you are interested in studying plant metabolism and physiology in the lab, please contact me at maeda2@wisc.edu .

• I am currently organizing the 2011 Gordon Research Seminar on Plant Metabolic Engineering, which brings together junior scientists in the field of plant metabolism and aims to build a strong community to overcome various challenges in the discipline. Download the GRS flyer.
