Professional Summary
Yi Zhou is a Ph.D. student in Dr. Shim lab. Her research focuses on fungal pathogenesis,
specifically investigating the role of secondary metabolite genes in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.vasinfectum race. By utilizing molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and biochemical approaches, she aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying fungal virulence and secondary metabolite production to improve disease management strategies in cotton. She has a strong interest in fungal biology, plant-microbe interactions, and applied molecular techniques for disease control.
