Dr. Sudeep Bag is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Plant Pathology, University of Georgia (since 2018). He completed his Ph.D. studies in Plant Pathology at Washington State University in 2013. He was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of California Davis (2013-2015) and a Post-Doctoral Scholar at the Oregon State University (2015-2018). His research interest is in the development of management strategies for virus diseases on economically important crops using interdisciplinary approaches. The primary focus is currently on etiology, epidemiology, and the genomics of emerging and re-emerging viruses in vegetable crops; understanding the crosstalk between the host–virus–vector system and utilizing it to mitigate disease; and the application of recent advances in genomics and molecular biology tools for virus disease management.
