30 Jun, 05 PM - 30 Aug, 05 PM

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Idaho working with Roland Knapp, Vance Vredenburg, and Cherie Briggs on the Rana muscosa (Mountain yellow-legged frog) project. The objective of the overall project is to understand why different populations of Rana muscosa exhibit different outcomes to the pathogenic fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (i.e., persistence vs decline). My portion of the project involves conducting genetic and genomic analyses to better understand the genes involved in frog susceptibility and chytrid pathogenicity. Please note that all details about methods, funding, permits, animal care, etc are already covered under the existing project at SNARL led by Roland Knapp. This application is to notify SNARL of additional personnel from the University of Idaho who will be involved in the project working with Roland during this summer (2010). Exact departure date will depend on the progress of experiments. Please let me know if you need additional information.
