Dr. O'Rourke is a proud ISU alumni, earning her PhD in Genetics from Iowa State in 2008. She has been with the USDA-ARS for eleven years, and since 2014 has been a scientist with the Corn Insects and Crops Genetics Research Unit located at Iowa State. Dr. O'Rourke's research focuses on identifying the genetic underpinnings of abiotic stress tolerance in soybean and other legumes using a combination of gene expression studies, plant physiology, and virus induced gene silencing.
