| Research Interests |
| My laboratory studies two environmental pathogens that represent the two major phyla in the fungal kingdom: Aspergillus fumigatus, an ascomycetous filamentous fungus causing allergies and invasive aspergillosis, and Cryptococcus neoformans, a basidiomycetous dimorphic yeast causing pneumonia and cryptococcal meningitis.My laboratory uses a combination of microscopic, genetic, and molecular biology approaches to gain insights into the molecular bases of fungal virulence and differentiation, with the goal of seeking better approach for diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of fungal diseases. |
