James Bradeen is a professor and head of the Plant Pathology department (CFANS), where he researches sustainable and durable genetic solutions to important crop diseases, resulting in reduced grower and environmental costs associated with frequent pesticide applications
Graduate student Deepak Haarith's research focuses on finding a suitable fungal biocontrol agent against soybean cyst nematode and studying the molecular warfare that is involved in it.
As the CFANS Phenomics Lead, Atena Haghighattalab is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the needs of plant scientists, emerging engineering technologies, and relevant informatics capacity at UMN; surveying peer institutions worldwide; and developing a model for delivery of resources in phenomics - an area of biology concerned with the measurement of phenomes (a phenome is the set of physical and biochemical traits belonging to a given organism) as they change in response to genetic mutation and environmental influences.
Jim, Deepak, and Atena will be taking turns presenting three diverse approaches to plant health research and how they hope to impact food crop security around the world.
The Bell Museum's Café Scientifique is a happy hour exchange of ideas about science, environment and popular culture that features experts from a variety of fields on diverse and often provocative topics.
