He leads the potato variety development program for the university, which releases new varieties for the chip, French fry, and fresh markets. Current research interests include genomics-assisted breeding methods for autotetraploids, the genetics of periderm-related traits (including skin color, set, and finish), and the development of inbred-hybrid breeding systems in diploid potato. Endelman teaches an undergraduate course on genetically modified crops and graduate courses on topics in molecular and statistical genetics
