My research group and I are interested in how microbial cells sense environmental conditions and how they use that information to change gene expression to affect cell morphology and physiology.
My group has been focused on nutrient sensing in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae and on the morphological changes in the human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Visit the Research section for more information on our projects.
My group consists of graduate and undergraduate students who work together on projects employing genetic, biochemical and cell biological approaches to answering research questions.
See our recent publications! Victoria had two papers published this year. One was in the Journal of Biological Chemistry on inositol pyrophosphates and the stress response transcription factor Msn2, and the second was a review in Current Genetics putting those findings in a broader context.
CONGRATULATIONS to Victoria Morrissette who successfully defended her dissertation on January 8!
