About

Simon Williams is a Senior Lecturer and ARC Future Fellow at the Australian National University, Australia. His research areas include plant pathogenic fungi, plant immunity, and the structural biology of fungal effectors, as demonstrated by his recent articles on NIP2 paralogues and the manipulation of plant defense by pathogens. His work contributes significantly to understanding plant-fungal interactions and improving crop resilience.
