Background and Interests
 

Steve Rounsley received his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of California, San Diego in 1995. He also has a Bachelors in Biological Sciences from the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. Prior to joining UA in 2006, he held research positions at several biotech companies and genome centers including The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), Monsanto, and The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. His research interests include the study of genome structure and organization, and how genomes have evolved over relatively short periods of time, through the study of closely related organisms. Although crop plant genomes, including rice, maize and cassava, are his major focus, he also works on the genomes of several non-plants including the causative agents for Valley Fever - Coccicioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii which are of particular importance to Arizonans.
