Charles P. Woloshuk studies fungal pathogens that infect maize (corn) and other crops, particularly Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides, which produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins (including aflatoxin) that can contaminate food and feed. His work spans understanding how these fungi infect and grow in stored grain, how their genetics and populations vary, and how storage methods and biological control products can reduce contamination. This research is relevant to students interested in plant pathology, food safety, and postharvest crop storage.

Publication output was concentrated heavily in 2017 (including many linked data records) with only sporadic, low-volume output in subsequent years, suggesting a slowing pace of new publications over the last decade.
