I am a fungal biologist. In collaboration with other researchers in the Rutgers Center for Turfgrass Science, I have been working on microbiome associated with grasses. Microbiomes, the microbial community and their genomes in a system, play important roles in adaptation, stress tolerance and disease resistance of their associated plants.
The Center for Turfgrass Science generates and disseminates knowledge, and provides training and education in the turfgrass sciences by fostering nationally recognized multidisciplinary research; undergraduate, graduate, and continuing professional education; and service programs that support the turfgrass industry.
