Rick Masonbrink

I am a trained biologist with a love for genetics, genomics, and evolution and a desire to understand nature's complexity. I primarily answer my questions with genomics tools. My focus is to study the mechanisms behind the virulence of the soybean cyst nematode vs soybean resistance. My bioinformatics capabilities have enabled the scope of my research to expand into genomics of sexual determination, disease resistance, and immunity across any number of species.
