The fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans relies on post-transcriptional mechanisms of
gene regulation to adapt to stressors it encounters in the human host, such as oxidative …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an important pathogen that annually kills 200,000 people
worldwide. It survives in the environment as a yeast or spore and can also proliferate within …

Cryptococcus neoformans kills 200,000 people worldwide each year. After inhalation, this
environmental yeast proliferates either extracellularly or within host macrophages. Under …

The pathogenic fungus C ryptococcus neoformans must overcome multiple stressors to
cause disease in its human host. In this study, we report that C. neoformans rapidly and …

In Cryptococcus neoformans, mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins (RP) are rapidly and
specifically repressed during cellular stress, and the bulk of this repression is mediated by …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that at its peak epidemic
levels caused an estimated million cases of cryptococcal meningitis per year worldwide …

The pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans must adapt to glucose‐limited conditions
in the lung and glucose replete conditions upon dissemination to the brain. We report that …

My thesis work has focused on characterizing mechanisms by which human fungal
pathogens regulate their adaptive cellular responses in order to survive and cause disease …

The cell walls of fungi are critical for cellular structure and rigidity but also serve as a major
communicator to alert the cell to the changing environment. In response to stresses …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungus that is able to survive abnormally high levels of
ionizing radiation (IR). The radiolysis of water by IR generates reactive oxygen species …
