Dr. Omon Isikhuemhen of the SAES is teaming up with Dr. Rytas Vilgalys of the Department of Biology faculty at Duke University for a six-week training program in "Truffle and Mushroom Biotechnology" that began in mid-May and will continue through late June. The class role includes SAES and Duke students, some members of the SAES staff, and a visiting scientist.
The course syllabus includes basic lab methods, and fungi collection field trips. Classes will meet at both A&T and Duke. Dr. Omon will be using his Carver Hall lab for some of the class meetings, and the new mushroom production facility at the University Farm for others.
