Background and Interests
 
Hans VanEtten received a Ph.D. and MS in Plant Pathology from Cornell University. He also has a BA in Botany from Wabash College. Here at the University of Arizona he teaches Principles of Plant Microbiology (PLPM 550) and runs the Plant Pathology and Microbiology Seminar (PLPM 596A). His research interests include; molecular and genetic basis of plant pathogenesis and commensalism by fungi; horizontal gene transfer; and synthesis of plant antibiotics.
