Understanding the mechanisms and factors responsible for establishment and maintenance of centromeric chromatin formed on unique DNA sequence in Candida albicans.
My research interest lies in understanding the role of histone H3 variant and its associated chromatin dynamics, resulting in altered gene expression patterns during different growth modes of the pathogenic fungi, C. albicans.
Interested in understanding the Malassezia species complex.
Malassezia sp. are basidiomycete fungi coinhabiting on the skin of a wide variety of animals (including humans).
Also interested in identifying the genetic players regulating the genome instability in Candida albicans.
Interested in understanding the genetic basis of drug resistance in the emerging human fungal pathogen Candida tropicalis.
