Justin L. Eagan

Justin L. Eagan studies fungi and how they interact with their environments, including the chemical compounds (secondary metabolites) fungi produce, how these affect food safety and plant/human health, and how fungi adapt to new settings. Much of the work focuses on species like Penicillium and the toxins they make, as well as how fungi and bacteria communicate and compete. Research spans agriculture (apple and cheese microbiomes), human pathogens, and the genetics underlying these traits.

Publication activity has been steady over the decade with a modest increase in the most recent years (averaging about 2 papers per year over the last five years).
