She performed some of the first experimental evolution studies on plant viruses and pioneered the first virus discovery work in a terrestrial system, by deep sequencing wild plant samples.

Four years later, she earned her doctorate in microbiology and immunology from the University of Colorado School of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Roossinck joined Penn State as professor of plant pathology and environmental microbiology and of biology in 2011, holding appointments in the College of Agricultural Sciences and the Eberly College of Science. She taught courses in virus ecology for several years at Penn State, and also has published both a popular press book about viruses entitled \u201cVirus: An Illustrated Guide to 101 Incredible Microbes\u201d as well as the academic text \u201cPlant Virus Evolution\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/dr-marilyn-roossinck-ph-d-beneficial-viruses-professor-emeritus-penn-state-university\">Continue reading \u201cDr. Marilyn Roossinck, Ph.D. \u2014 Beneficial Viruses \u2014 Professor Emeritus, Penn State University\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBeneficial Viruses\u201d For Human Health, Agriculture And Environmental Sustainability \u2014 Dr. Marilyn Roossinck, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Penn State Dr. Marilyn Roossinck Ph.D. (https:\/\/plantpath.psu.edu\/directory\/mjr25) is Professor Emeritus of plant pathology, environmental microbiology and biology at Penn State University.
