I am about to embark on a PhD program at OSU, where I studied previously. I will be in the botany and plant pathology (BPP) department and I will be working in Dr Niklaus Grunwald's lab on a graduate research assistantship (GRA). Nik's lab is involved in the study of Phytophthora spp. which are oomycete plant pathogens which cause a number of significant plant diseases. Of note are potato late blight (P. infestans), which caused the Irish potato famine, and sudden oak death (P. ramorum) which threatens to be as significant to the worlds oak populations as dutch elm disease was to Elm trees in the UK.
