Background

About Ryan Sheick

I have been working in plant biology research since I was an undergrad at University of Michigan - Flint, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I earned a Master of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology from Grand Valley State University while working as an intern at Annis Water Resources Institute (AWRI) genotyping watermilfoil. I then worked at Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center on a range of projects involving apple and pear horticulture, with a focus on evaluating genetic and horticultural traits of crabapples and their efficacy as pollinizers for major apple cultivars. I currently work as a Research Technologist at Michigan State University in the DOE-Plant Research Laboratory on a project investigating the crosstalk between abiotic and biotic stress response pathways in Arabidopsis and a variety of other plants.
