Professional Summary
Caleb Oliver Bedsole (Oli) is a Texas A&M University’s Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology graduate student in Dr. Brian Shaw’s lab. His research focuses on how fungi can disperse in their environment. His work mostly focuses on the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, which is one of the most economically relevant fungal plant pathogens. His work not only attempts to unravel how conidia disperse in their environment but also the development of fungi and the process of secreting these adhesives and cell signaling.
