Eric K. Asare
Eric Kumi Asare has gained experience during his research career in plant pathology as a mycologist. He has special interest in understanding how fungal pathogens spread and develop into epidemics, and management using cultural, biological and chemical control methods. However, he grows fungi for food and money. Simply, he is a mushroom farmer!
Eric obtained both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana and worked at the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG) as a research scientist. His research focused on understanding factors contributing to the outbreak of anthracnose disease of cocoa in Ghana. In September 2022, he joined the Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Western Australia (WA) to pursue PhD in plant pathology and his research focuses on understanding the potential impact of myrtle rust on WA’s native flora following detections of the pathogen in the Eastern Kimberley region in June 2022.
