| Population Genetics | The research in my laboratory focuses on the population genetics of Hessian fly, and the monitoring of virulence within the fly populations. This research allows us to identify the genetic variation that exists in the populations throughout the United States, to monitor the emergence of new virulence genes, and to predict the spread of any of these genes through the populations of Hessian flies in the United States and worldwide. |
| Graduate Student | This position will be for either M.S. or Ph.D. student interested in population genetics. There are a wide variety of projects available. |
