We are interested in the epigenetic determinants of fungal disease, specifically in Candida spp. pathogenic yeasts. We aim to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which alterations in histone modification pathways alter fungal virulence traits such as phenotypic plasticity and antifungal resistance. Our goal is to identify novel molecular targets to combat the alarming rise in fungal disease.
