I’m Flávia Rogério, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Florida. I hold a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology and have conducted research in Brazil, Spain, and the U.S., using molecular tools and genomic approaches to study plant–fungal interactions. I specialize in fungal genomics, with a focus on population genetics and emerging plant diseases.

RESEARCH:
I am interested in the genomics fungal pathogen, using population genetics and comparative genomics to investigate genetic variation and evolutionary processes in plant-pathogen interactions. My research combines fieldwork, molecular biology, and bioinformatics to investigate emerging fungal pathogens, with recent work centered on comparative genomics and long-read sequencing of Bipolaris species.
