Gopal Subramaniam

Gopal Subramaniam is an Adjunct Research Professor at the Department of Biology, Carleton University, and affiliated with the Faculty of Science. He focuses on plant-pathogen interactions, regulation of secondary metabolism in fungi, defense responses in cereal crops, protein-protein interactions, and chemical genomics.

• Degrees: B.Sc. (University of Manitoba), Ph.D. (Université de Montréal)

His research explores molecular mechanisms in fungal pathogenesis, particularly in Fusarium graminearum, with a focus on gene regulation, CRISPR-based tools, and host-pathogen dynamics. He has contributed to studies on effector proteins, plant immunity activation, and genomic networks.

Recent publications highlight his work in CRISPR/Cas9, proximity labeling, and phylogenomic analysis of Fusarium species. His team is based at the Eastern Cereal and Oilseed Research Centre, collaborating on agricultural solutions.
