Bio: Manfred received a Ph.D. from the University of Regensburg, Germany, in 2000, under the direction of Andreas Bresinsky. He joined our lab in January, 2000.
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.
