Congratulations Eric on USDA-NIFA Post-doctoral Fellowship!

Eric has been awarded a prestigious USDA-NIFA Post-doctoral fellowship! Yay! With this award, Eric will be able to expand upon our previous finding of a novel TAL effector, PthXp1, in Xanthomonas perforans population, identify its role in virulence and understand evolution of TAL effectors in bacterial spot xanthomonads.
