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.
CONGRATULATIONS to Kat Flug and Finn Thompson! They have selected from among the top PhD programs in the country for a fall of 2022 start. Finn will be joining the Graduate Program of the Department of Biology at MIT and Kat will be joining the Molecular & Cell Biology PhD program at the University of California, Berkeley! Well done to both.
CONGRATULATIONS to Finn for the Excellence in Poster Presentation Award at the Undergraduate Research Conference on April 21, 2022!
