Joel Griffitts Principal Investigator
I graduated from Stanford University in 1999, finished graduate school at UC San Diego in 2004 and then returned to Stanford to work on symbiotic nitrogen fixation. During that time, I developed several projects centered on symbiotic invasion and host-microbe compatibility. I have been on the BYU faculty since 2006, where my lab is investigating various aspects of host-microbe communication.

Matthew Crook Graduate Student
I am just starting in the Griffitts lab. I will be pursuing a PhD studying the molecular determinants of hostrange in the symbiotic relationship between the bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti and members of the plant genus Medicago.
