About Erica M Goss

Dr. Erica Goss is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and in the Emerging Pathogens Institute. Her research uses genetic and genomic data to understand the ecology and evolution of populations of plant pathogens and plant-associated microbes. The long-term goal of her work is to better understand the factors that contribute to the emergence of destructive pathogens and their continued success as they evolve in new environments and on new hosts. Through numerous collaborations, she studies bacterial, oomycete, and fungal pathogens.
