My research centers around the genetic improvement of potato, both by conventional and molecular genetic means. Our breeding program aims to develop new chipping and tablestock varieties that are adapted to the Northeast and meet ever-changing needs of the regional potato industry. To support breeding, we also work to isolate and characterize genes responsible for economically important traits in potato.
