Dr. Cecilia Wanjau
My research focuses on plant-pathogen interactions, with a particular interest in nematology. This work is documented on Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=r2JEBGsAAAAJ) and ResearchGate (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Cecilia_Wanjau). Additionally, I am committed to exploring plant biotechnology and understanding the impact of climate change on sustainable agriculture. I enjoy working closely with students to conduct meaningful research projects, promoting their growth while advancing our collective knowledge. I also welcome collaborations with researchers from diverse backgrounds to address complex challenges at the intersection of crop protection, biotechnology, and climate science.
