David Hibbett is an associate professor in biology at Clark University who analyses fungal relationships through DNA analysis.
At Clark he concentrates his lab work in evolutionary biology and ecology of Fungi.
A year later Hibbett taught microbiology at Framingham State College for the spring semester.
[1] In 2007, Hibbett led the publication of a phylogenetically based classification scheme for the Kingdom Fungi with a long list of international taxonomic specialists, which has remained the standard framework for the higher classification of these organisms.
[2] His most cited paper (as of 4 January 2021) with 1755 citations[3] is Reconstructing the early evolution of Fungi using a six-gene phylogeny.
