PhD Student
As a plant pathology graduate student at UC Davis, I am interested in understanding and mitigating biotic threats to our domestic and international food supply.
I am thankful to be jointly mentored by Dr. Gitta Coaker and Dr. Jorge Dubcovsky.
In the Dubcovsky lab, I have been challenged with elucidating the mode of action of a wheat NLR protein.
My research will hopefully contribute to the breeding of durable rust resistance in wheat.
