Welcome to the Siddique Lab Website!

The Siddique Lab focuses on elucidating the complex interactions between parasitic nematodes and their host plants, using these interactions as a model system to explore fundamental aspects of host-parasite biology. Parasitic nematodes are fascinating organisms that have developed sophisticated mechanisms to invade and manipulate their hosts, making them an ideal subject for research into host-parasite interactions.

The lab is run by Dr. Shahid Siddique, a Professor at UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, and utilizes both molecular and applied methodologies to advance our understanding of these parasitic relationships. You can see many of the lab’s publication here. And you can read about the lab members working in the Siddique Lab here.
