Welcome to the Siddique Lab!

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.
