Research summary

Daniel J. Gage's research focuses on the interactions between soil and plant-associated microbes, particularly how protists (single-celled eukaryotic microorganisms) shape bacterial communities living on and around plant roots. His work combines microbiology, genomics, and ecology to understand how these microbial interactions affect plant health and could be harnessed for agricultural applications like seed treatments. Note that a few unrelated publications on vascular surgery and infant mortality appear in this record, likely due to author name overlap rather than this PI's actual research focus.

Publication output rose notably around 2020-2021, then settled into a more moderate but steady pace of a few papers per year through 2025.
