Dr Stephan Helfer, Research Associate Mycology
I do research on parasitic microfungi, their biodiversity, taxonomy and distribution.
I am interested in fungus-plant interactions and their effect on natural communities. I mainly use microscopic techniques for identification and basic investigation. I also have looked at the influence of climate on parasitic interactions; this is clearly relevant in the development of plant and fungal communities, including extinction and establishment events and invasiveness.
