Killer fungi

The Rowley lab has been awarded a prestigious early-career research grant to study killer fungi!

Unlike popular ideas of fungi in

"The Last of Us" the killer yeast that we study produce toxins that kill other fungi.

We have found that killer yeast might benefit humanity by helping us fight disease-causing fungi. Maybe Joel and Ellie need these yeasts?

Please see the "hiring" tab for details on current open positions in the Rowley lab.

I have a passion for undergraduate research and anything to do with virus-host interactions.

The Rowley Lab is currently engaged in several outreach projects focusing on antibiotic development and yeast evolution.
