Magdalena Julkowska is an assistant professor at the Boyce Thompson Institute with 10+ years of experience dissecting how salt and drought reshape plant architecture and influence stress tolerance. Trained with a PhD from the University of Amsterdam and a postdoc at KAUST, she combines developmental biology, forward genetics, quantitative genetics and high-throughput phenotyping to link root and shoot traits to salinity resilience across species. At BTI she leads development of the institute’s first high-throughput phenotyping facility and builds accessible tools and natural diversity panels to democratize phenotyping. Her work spans model Arabidopsis lines to stress-resilient crops like wild tomato, cowpea and tepary bean, pairing hands-on experimental design with R/Python data pipelines. She is also actively committed to improving equity, diversity and inclusion within academia and her lab.
