Doris Wagner is an American biologist who is the Robert I. Williams Term Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania.
[1] She started a graduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley,[2] where she studied structure-function properties of phytochrome B.
[1][3] After earning her doctorate, Wagner joined California Institute of Technology as a Helen Hay Whitney Foundation research fellow.
This includes how the helix-turn-helix transcription factor LEAFY (LFY) direct the formation of primordium and onset of reproduction.
Wagner believes that LFY gets hold of particular parts of the chromatin bundle, loosens the structure and recruits new proteins.
