Jimenez-Gasco Lab
Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology
The Pennsylvania State University
In my program we study the population-level processes that lead to the evolution of plant pathogenicity, virulence, and the emergence of fungicide and antibiotic resistance in microbial populations. We use molecular tools to study these processes within a population biology approach that connects population genetics and epidemiology.
