Biography

Emile Gluck-Thaler is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the evolutionary strategies fungi employ to interact with plants, animals, and other microbes, particularly the mechanisms driving these interactions. With a PhD in Plant Pathology from Ohio State University, he is interested in how fungal interactions can threaten food security and public health.
