Dr. Maria Moreno received the BSc and MSc degrees at Iowa State
University and completed her graduate studies at Yale University.
Her doctoral studies focused on the utility of the Activator/Dissociation
transposable element system to develop insertional mutagenesis and
fine structure genetic mapping strategies in maize. Her postdoctoral
studies were conducted in plant molecular genetics at the University
of California-Berkeley under Dr. Michael Freeling. There, she charac-
terized at the molecular level the maize ligulesless 1 gene, a leaf archi-
tecture trait that has been identified as an important target for yield
improvement in several cereal crops. She is currently a Research
Scientist and Senior Lecturer at Yale in the Department of Molecular,
Cellular and Developmental Biology.  Her current research interests
focus on developing technologies for population genomics to enhance
food security. She also serves as Academic Coordinator and Instructor
for the Science, Technology and Research Scholars (STARS) program
at Yale College, which provides support to women, minority, economically
underprivileged and other historically underrepresented students in STEM.
