Research interests
- Fungal Pathogenesis
- Protein Transport
- & Secretion Mechanisms. The Focus Of My Laboratory Is To Understand Fungal Pathogenesis With Special Emphasis On Cryptococcus Species (Cs). Cs
- Encapsulated Yeast
- Causes Infections In Both Healthy
- Immunocompromised Individuals. Central To This Investigation Is An Understanding Of What Gene Products Are Required
- Expressed During Infection
- How This Expression Changes Over Time (From Initial Colonization To Causation Of Disease)
- Space (In Different Cells Or Tissues Within The Host). We Thus Endeavor To Understand
- What Selective Pressures Are Acting On The Pathogen In Each Microenvironment
- What Fungal Factors Are Responsible For The Host Damage
- And How The Immune System Is Evaded. Another Focus Of My Laboratory Is To Understand The Molecular Mechanisms Underlying The Non-Classical Release Of Oxidative Proteins. Major Aim Of This Investigation Is To Define How Non-Classically Exported Proteins Pass Through The Cell Membrane
- Cell Wall
- And Which Membrane
- Cell Wall Proteins Facilitate These Processes
