Sara Dye
Dr. Sara Dye is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of California, Davis. She received her B.S. degree in Biological Sciences with Honors from University of California, Davis in 2004, and a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from University of California, Davis in 2017. She was awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship in support of her Ph.D. studies, during which she studied the role of eicosapolyenoic fatty acids in eliciting defense responses and altering oxylipin metabolism in solanaceous plants. In addition to her research efforts, in the course of her Ph.D. she also participated in the Professors for the Future Fellowship program where she learned innovative methods and techniques and honed her skills for teaching at the college level. As well as her degrees from UC Davis, she also obtained a B.S. in Nursing from California State University, Sacramento in 2008 and is a registered nurse (RN) with experience in medical intensive care and community health. Dr. Dye is passionate about helping students to learn and succeed at UC Davis. She particularly loves helping students to see connections between different fields of study and the interrelatedness of seemingly disparate organisms and systems. She teaches undergraduate courses in Science and Society, Global Disease Biology, and Plant Pathology using a One Health approach that emphasizes how optimum health for humans, animals, and plants is interdependent and interlinked.
