Title Associate Research Professor

Research Description
As curator of the Fungal Genetics Stock Center, Dr. McCluskey's program is service oriented. The development of the FGSC collection into the acknowledged world leader for biological and molecular materials for fungal genetics and more recently fungal genomics has had a profound effect on research with industrial, pathogenic and model organisms. Recent advances include genome-associated libraries for five important systems including agricultural and human pathogens, industrial, and research organisms. Resources recently available include systematic genome-based knockouts for several organisms. The FGSC collection now includes nearly 70,000 strains as well as hundreds of thousands of molecular clones.
