Stephen O. Opiyo's research focuses on plant health and microbial communities, using genetic and genomic tools to understand how crops like sweetpotato and plantain respond to diseases and pests. He has also studied microbial diversity in biogas systems, applying similar genomic and 'metagenomics' (large-scale study of mixed microbial DNA) approaches. This work combines plant biology, microbiology, and agricultural applications aimed at improving crop resilience and renewable energy production.
