Jack Van't Hof

Brookhaven National Laboratory
From: 1962-1999

Research Interests

The cell biology and cytogenetics of higher plants; specifically the development of commercial fiber in the cotton plant. Currently, the focus is on the relation between cell cycle kinetics, subpopulations of cells, selective expression of regulating developmental factors and fiber production. Methodology includes tissue culture, in situ hybridization and single-cell and chromosomal analyses.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
