Assistant Professor of Biology
Boston University
Boston, Massachusetts
Dr. Jennifer Bhatnagar is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Boston University studying the ecology, chemistry, and biology of microorganisms in the environment with the goal of uncovering the biochemical mechanisms that microbes use to drive carbon and nutrient cycling through ecosystems. Dr. Bhatnagar focuses on Fungi, because they are directly responsible for moving energy and elements between the biosphere and the atmosphere and have a long and interesting history in human society. Her current research includes the secretomes of plant-fungal interactions, and resistance and resilience of microbial guilds and biogeochemical functions to climate change.
