Rosemary E. Bradshaw is a New Zealand mycologist, as of 2019 full professor of genetics at the Massey University.

Academic career

After a 1983 PhD titled 'Hybridization of Aspergillus species' at the University of Nottingham, Bradshaw moved to the Massey University, rising to full professor in 2016.

Bradshaw's best-known work involved the identification of the oomycete Phytophthora agathadicida as the cause of Kauri dieback.
