Overview
My research interest is to understand the genetic regulatory mechanisms governing fungal viability, stress response, and pathogenicity. During my M.S. and Ph.D. at Kyungpook National University, I tried to identify transcription factors important for spore maturation and dormancy in three Aspergillus species (A. nidulans, A. flavus, and A. fumigatus). In the Heitman lab, as a postdoctoral researcher, I will be studying antifungal drug resistances via RNAi in Mucor and Rhizopus species.
