Guillermo Jimenez Aleman

Dr. Jimenez-Aleman completed his PhD training in Bioorganic Chemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology (W. Boland’s group), in Jena, Germany. After his PhD, he received a DFG postdoctoral fellowship to study Jasmonate Signaling at the National Centre for Biotechnology (R. Solano’s group), in Madrid, Spain. He continued his career at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research (G. Jander and F.W. Li Labs) in Ithaca, New York. In September 2024, Dr. Jimenez-Aleman joined NJIT to pioneer plant research at the institution. His laboratory will use non-vascular plants to study small molecule signaling pathways governing plant interactions with the environment. Moreover, the JA-Lab will explore the biosynthesis and chemical biology of seedless plant natural products.
