About

Heather McFarlane is an Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in Plant Cell Biology at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on plant cell wall biology, with recent articles addressing intracellular aggregations in Arabidopsis thaliana, cell wall signaling, and cellulose synthesis regulation. In addition, she explores the dynamics of cortical microtubules during wood formation and leads discussions on sustainable and reproducible research practices.
