McDonald, Megan - The Australian National University

个人简介

I am interested in the evolution of host/pathogen interactions within the agroecosystem. My research deals mainly with plant pathogenic fungi. Currently we are using comparative genomic and proteomic tools to elucidate proteins responsible for host specificiy and virulence.
