Ph.D. Molecular Genetics

My expertise is in the field of molecular genetics and genomics of fungi. Over the last years have I studied different aspects of fungal biology at the molecular level with emphasis on identification of virulence factors in phytopathogens, using both classical genetic and genomic approaches.
