Dr. Rebecca Bart
Research Assistant Member
Department of Plant Science
Donald Danforth Plant Science Center
United States of America
Biography
"Becky conducted her doctoral research in the Plant Pathology Department at UC Davis, where she worked with Prof. Pamela Ronald to elucidate genetic components of the rice innate immune response. Becky then worked as a postdoctoral scholar in Prof. Brian Staskawicz's laboratory at UC Berkeley to further understand the molecular and genetic interaction between the important food crop, cassava, and its major bacterial pathogen. Assistant Member, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center November 2013 NIFA postdoctoral Fellow, UC Berkeley UC Davis, Ph.D. in Plant Pathology 2010 Reed College, Portland Oregon, B.A. in Biology in 2003"
Research Interest
Rebecca’s research will combine genetics with molecular and computational biology to learn about the mechanisms used by hosts and pathogens to recognize and respond to one another and the environment.
