Sven Buerki
Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences at Boise State University. My research interests are in the fields of genomics, evolutionary plant biology and bioinformatics.
My lab aims at contributing to advancing fundamental knowledge of the rules of life (with a genome-to-phenome focus) underpinning plants’ drought and heat tolerance. Such evidence is then used to forecast the effect of climate change on natural ecosystems and develop restoration practices. We are currently focusing our efforts on the sagebrush steppe of western North America by using Artemisia tridentata (or sagebrush) as model organism. This research is integrated into the EPSCoR NSF GEM3 project.
