Furthermore, she is a fellow of the Fungal Kingdom project of the Canadian Institute of Advanced Research (CIFAR). Her research focuses on population genetics and the evolution of fungi that interact with plants. She leads the Environmental Genomics group, which focuses on different aspects of fungal evolution. The group integrates experimental, molecular and computational approaches to study adaptation and population genetics in plant pathogenic fungi and plant-associated microbes.
