The fungal research community at Dartmouth consists of 14 laboratories in the Departments
of Biochemistry, Biology, Genetics, Microbiology/Immunology, and Pharmacology/Toxicology that study aspects of the biology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Pichia pastoris, Ashbya gossypii, and Neurospora crassa. Our research groups focus on particular genetic, biochemical, cell biological and physiological problems that are tractable and compelling in yeast and other fungi. Much of our research has medical significance, either in the area of fungal pathogenesis or because fungi are models of what we like to call the "larger eukaryotes."
Our laboratories consist of a mix of post-doctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduates. Prospective Ph.D. students are encouraged to apply to the Molecular and Cellular Graduate Program or the Pharm/Tox Graduate Program in which we serve as preceptors. All prospective trainees are encouraged to read more about our research interests and contact us directly.
