H. capsulatum has a dimorphic life cycle, switching from an infectious filamentous form in the soil to a pathogenic yeast form in mammalian hosts. I am studying the molecular basis of this morphological switch in H. capsulatum.

Allen Henderson Ph.D.
Post-doctoral fellow
The expression profile of biosynthetic pathways within the fungal pathogen H. capsulatum is altered upon incubation at mammalian host body temperatures. I am defining which of these pathways contribute most to pathogenesis and characterizing functionally important activities within them.
