Research Team
The Tria Project takes an innovative approach, bringing together a multidisciplinary team of researchers in insect biology, plant genetics, fungal genetics, population genomics and ecological risk modeling.
By integrating spearhead genomic work, insect and fungal biology, and tree physiology with population genetics and ecological modeling, the team has a golden opportunity to be world leading in the understanding of the complex interaction that determines the disease dynamics.
