People Connected to the Hibbett Lab
Manfred Binder
Manfred joined Clark mycologists to study fungal biodiversity
at the Bailong River region, Gansu Province, P.R. China,
June-August 2002. (National Geographic, PI Wang Zheng)
Bio: Manfred received a Ph.D. from the University of Regensburg, Germany, in 2000, under the direction of Andreas Bresinsky. He joined our lab as a research fellow in January 2000. Manfred maintains his own web page at: www.clarku.edu/faculty/dhibbett/mbinder/.
Research interests: Manfred has diverse experience in basidiomycete systematics. He has studied Hymenochaetales, Boletales, cyphelloid and corticioid fungi, and others. He uses molecular, morphological, and biochemical approaches.
