Mary Beth Mudgett, PhD Principle Investigator, Professor of Biology mudgett(at)stanford.edu Research Area: My group studies the molecular basis of plant-microbe interactions using biochemical, genetic, and cell biological approaches. We are particularly interested in elucidating novel virulence mechanisms used by bacteria to subvert host immune strategies. |
