ABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER

Dr. Rodriguez joined Texas State University in 2015 as a faculty member in Biology where he teaches Mycology and Applied Bioinformatics. His research group investigates host-pathogen dynamics in reptiles and amphibians using genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic tools. Specifically, he has been investigating the amphibian-killing fungus in temperate and tropical environments and Snake Fungal Disease in Texas. His research also leverages a portable genetics lab to teach and perform genetic analyses in the field.
