Miranda Haus serves as an Assistant Professor in the Molecular Plant Sciences Program at Michigan State University, with additional appointments in the BioMolecular Science Gateway and Cell & Molecular Biology Program. Her research focuses on plant root architecture, development, and responses to abiotic and biotic stressors.
Dr. Haus investigates root system formation under environmental challenges including climate change, CO2 fluctuations, and pathogen attacks. Her work integrates genetic analysis in model systems (Arabidopsis) with crop studies (common bean, grapevine), employing image-based phenotyping and molecular techniques to explore stress adaptation mechanisms. Key research areas encompass stomatal physiology, disease resistance breeding, and root-pathogen interactions.
Publication trends (2013-2025) reveal strong emphasis on agricultural applications, particularly developing image-analysis tools for disease assessment and identifying genetic resistance in legumes. Her work bridges fundamental plant science with sustainable crop production, addressing emerging challenges in weed management under climate change and trans-generational stress responses.
