My primary roles at Cornell are research on gene structure and function in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster and related species, and teaching the undergraduate course on general genetics required for biology majors.

My academic interests lie in floriculture, greenhouse cropping systems and the physiology of ornamental plants. My research and extension efforts in flower bulb forcing and use are substantially supported by the Dutch flower bulb export industry as well as US companies and Foundations. Findings from my research group have been adopted by many in...

About My research has focused on ecosystem interactions that influence the management of freshwater fish populations in lakes and rivers. These efforts have included large-scale and small-scale experimental manipulations, while taking advantage of natural experiments to help identify key ecosystem processes. My attention to changing aquatic...

About Heidi Mouillesseaux-Kunzman is Senior Extension Associate, Engaged Learning Coordinator, and Director of the Education minor in the Department of Global Development at Cornell University. In these roles, Heidi teaches, advises, and works with Cornell colleagues and community-based partners to develop and support engaged and experiential...

I am studying the outcomes of art integration in place-based ecology field courses. I want to figure out how creating and exhibiting ecologically-relevant fine art can boost environmental literacy, sense of place, and pro-environmental behavior when combined with hands-on outdoor instruction. Advisor: Anna Davidson Expected Graduation Year: 2025

I earned my PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1984 studying conjugative drug resistance plasmids, and did post-doctoral work at the University of Washington studying Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which causes tumors on host plants. I joined the department in 1988, continuing both areas of research. My main teaching responsibilities...

Eric Alani is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. Dr. Alani is a member of both the Graduate Field of Genetics, Genomics and Development and the Graduate Field of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology. The Alani lab studies roles for DNA mismatch repair proteins in maintaining genome stability.

My program specializes in applied plant pathology, mycology, and bacteriology in addition to undergraduate, graduate, stakeholder, grower, and community education. The program's mission is to provide a better understanding of the relationships between life history features of plant pathogens of fruit crops and applied disease management practices...
