Christine Diepenbrock

Christine Diepenbrock aims to understand and improve the nutritional quality and abiotic stress resilience of staple and specialty crops, and to train the next generation of scientists to carry on this work in a broad array of crops. Her research focuses specifically on the statistical genetics, computational genomics, and phenotyping (of all throughputs) of crop nutritional quality, both content and composition. Researchers in her lab also develop integrative models for crop productivity, agronomics, and nutritional quality itself, including in the presence of abiotic stressors such as drought and/or high temperature.
