Escobar, Matthew - California State University, San Marcos

个人简介

Dr. Escobar joined the Biology faculty at CSUSM in Fall, 2005 after completing postdoctoral work at Lund University in Sweden. He is primarily interested in plant molecular biology, plant pathology, and plant biotechnology, with a particular emphasis on perennial crop species. Previous research projects have focused on resistance to crown gall disease and the regulation of alternative respiratory pathways in plants. B.S. in Biological Sciences, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, 1996 Ph.D. in Plant Biology, University of California Davis, 2002
