Sudeep Bag is an assistant professor of crop virology in the Department of Plant Pathology, University of Georgia, Tifton. His research interest is in the development of management strategies for virus diseases on economically important crops using interdisciplinary approaches. His primary focus is on etiology, epidemiology, and genomics of emerging and re-emerging viruses in vegetable crops; understanding the crosstalk within the host–virus–vector system and utilizing it to mitigate disease; and applying recent advances in genomics and molecular biology tools for virus disease management. Bag holds a B.S. degree in microbiology from Bilaspur Central University (Bilaspur, India), an M.S. degree in biotechnology from Indira Gandhi Agricultural University (Raipur, India), and a Ph.D. degree in plant pathology from Washington State University (Pullman).
