Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Briseño is a postdoctoral research associate in Corvallis, Oregon, specializing in virome and microbiome interactions within forest and agroecological systems. With eight years of research experience and a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from the University of Florida, he integrates community ecology, island biogeography, and graph theory to reveal ecological dynamics of plant viruses. He developed the Virome Network Analysis (ViNA) framework to link high-throughput sequencing data with host–virus networks, enabling new insights for crop management and conservation. His work blends hands-on virology, molecular diagnostics, and bioinformatics tool development, making complex microbial datasets actionable. Unusually for a postdoc, he bridges theoretical ecology and applied phytopathology, translating network patterns into practical applications for productive ecosystems.
