Summer Environmental StudyMolly Bindell
2016 The Caroline Thorn Kissel Summer Environmental Studies Scholarship
Molly Bindell is a PhD candidate in the Ecology and Evolution and the Department of Plant Biology and Pathology at Rutgers University, NJ. She studies arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), an important group of plant root-inhabiting, microbial symbionts, associated with switchgrass in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and beyond. Her project will investigate a novel metagenomic approach to studying AMF using Illumina next-generation sequencing technology to uncover the diversity of these ecologically and potentially economically important fungi in varying environments.
