 Education: Ph.D., Plant Pathology, Cornell University-Ithaca, 1983 B.S., Biology*,*Kent State University, 1975
 **Fungal Pathogen Genetics** My research involves the genetics of fungal plant pathogens in the genus *Fusarium*. We are using genomic approaches to better understand the mechanisms by which fungal pathogens cause disease in plants. Most of our effort focuses on *Fusarium graminearum* (*Gibberella zeae*), the head blight pathogen of cereal crops, and related fungi. We are also interested in the population genetics and evolution of plant pathogenic *Fusarium* species such as *Fusarium graminearum* and *Fusarium oxysporum*.  **Publications by lab staff available in Pdf format**
