Plant Pathologists and Bioinformatician at Oklahoma State University. I currently work with DNA/RNA sequencing data to develop bioinformatic tools to improve speed of plant pathogen detection. I am interested in fast and innovative tools that help plant pathologists detecting known and emerging pests. By using High-throughput Sequencing we aim to develop the appropriate protocols to detect any pathogen in any plant sample. Currently I am using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) minION sequencer to validate portability of sequencing devices for diagnostics.
