Beyond excited to share that I will be starting my lab at the Molecular Biology and Genetics department at Cornell University (Cornell MBG) in 2025! My lab will use genetics and experimental evolution to study meiosis and genome instability in pathogenic and model fungi.

I am happy to share that our work on the establishment of a transient transformation system for the frog-killing chytrid fungus B. dendrobatidis (Bd) is now out in PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Big thanks to co-authors Stephanie Brody, Andrew Swafford , Edgar Medina, & Lillian Fritz-Laylin!

UNC-Chapel Hill grad, Purdue University postdoc, Miami University prof, Mycological Society of America moved to bluesky President, JMU Biology Chair, UA Dept. of BSC Chair, chytridiomycologist, teacher, friend. #chytrids #fungi doi.org/10.1080/002755…

Celebrate the 121st birthday of #chytrid #fungi researcher Frederick K. Sparrow on May 11th! Visit DrRabern.com for more on chytrids, Sparrow's 🔬, and the Collection of Zoosporic Eufungi at the University of Michigan, home of Sparrow.
