Dr. Simon “Niels” Groen has received a $1.9 million NIH award to study how parasites evade host defenses. His research will focus on plant resistance to nematodes and how these parasites overcome such defenses, aiming to improve food security and address pesticide and antibiotic resistance.

The full article about these findings can be found on the UCR News site, titled Solving antibiotic and pesticide resistance with infectious worms.
