Jennifer H. Wisecaver studies the genomics and biochemistry of algae and fungi, focusing on how organisms evolve new metabolic capabilities such as toxin production and nutrient management. Her work combines genome sequencing, multi-omics data analysis, and gene network approaches to understand harmful algal blooms, horizontal gene transfer between species, and biosynthesis of natural products like polyketide toxins. Students in this group would likely work on genome assembly, bioinformatics, and evolutionary analysis of algae, fungi, or related eukaryotes.
Publication output peaked around 2018 and has gradually declined since, settling at a lower but fairly steady rate (about 4-5 per year) over the past five years.
