This National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB) FY 2023 award, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research and training focused on exploring the rules of life governing interactions between genomes, environment, and phenotypes in a plant-fungal symbiosis.

The $240,000 award will fund a 3-year project that aims to identify the genetic regulation occurring across plant and fungal species to understand how their relationship is impacted by environmental conditions. The research will utilize gene expression surveys, greenhouse experiments, and microscopy to examine how environmental stressors reorganize the co-expression patterns of plant and fungal genes. Additionally, the project will explore how the genetic and functional diversity of fungal partners impacts the context-dependency of plant-mycorrhizal associations. As part of the project, the fellow will also work to broaden participation in biology by mentoring students from diverse backgrounds and organizing career development seminars.
