    Our laboratory is composed of research assistants, Ph. D. students, and master students, with undergraduate students also welcome to join. Most graduate students come from the Departments of Plant Pathology and the Master Program in Plant Medicine and Good Agricultural Practice. The lab has also hosted international and exchange students from Thailand and Canada. Students pursue research topics based on their interests, focusing on fungal pathogen biology, pathogenicity, or disease management. Regular lab meetings are held, where members take turns presenting their research progress and engaging in discussions. Additionally, a weekly lab tea time provides a relaxed setting for members to share insights beyond research, strengthening connections within the lab community.
