Biography

Elyce Iagallo is a research assistant with an interest in molecular science and problem solving, at CCDM she is working towards reducing the yield loss caused by yellow spot on wheat.

Her focus is on the discovery of novel effectors secreted by Pyrenophora Tritici Repentis (PTR), and how these can be used to develop resistant crops in the field.
