RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
My lab focuses on molecular genetics and cell biology of secondary metabolite synthesis in filamentous fungi as well as host/microbe interactions using plant and human pathogenic Aspergillus spp. We assess genetic/chemical methods to identify fungal metabolites and physiology/microscopy/host experiments to assess virulence/ecological traits of said metabolites.
