Description:

Learn more about our NSF, GoLife, project on the largest group of unknown fungi. Read more Learn more about our NSF BEE project on lichen networks. Read more Research interests in the Lutzoni lab are centered on symbiotic systems involving fungi and photoautotrophic organisms. Lichens, including their microbiomes, have been our principal focus, but since 2005 our research program has expanded to include endophytic fungi found in all lineages of land plants and endolichenic fungi found in lichen thalli. We have been studying these symbioses primarily from a macroevolutionary perspective, but since 2003 we have adopted an interdisciplinary approach bridging evolutionary biology, ecology, and genomics. Research in the Lutzoni lab spans the full spectrum of activities, from intensive fieldwork-based surveys to experimental laboratory work, across broad spatio-temporal scales. Dr. François Lutzoni will be hosting undergraduate research workshops for students interested in joining research labs at Duke. This workshop will cover: finding a lab, what to look for in a lab, how to approach a principal investigator, and navigating through interviews. These are two identical workshops offered at different times.Register at: https://undergraduateresearch.duke.edu/land-a-lab-workshop We are excited to welcome Shannon Skarha to the Lutzoni lab as a first-year Ph.D. student in the Duke Biology department. Shannon previously worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden, where she was a lab specialist in the conservation genetics program.
