Dr Daniel Henk

Daniel is interested in understanding how eukaryotic genomes, particularly fungal genomes, respond to simple and complex systems of interactions. Fungi are incredibly diverse, and species often occupy heterogeneous niches that can appear contradictory depending on other conditions (e.g. detrimental or helpful to hosts depending on nutrient availability). The central research seeks to use environmental, genomic and phenotypic data to develop and test models that explain the dispersal, trophic role, and ultimately the limits of fungal genomic flexibility over physiological, ecological and evolutionary time frames.
