The goal of my research program is to better understand factors that control fungal cell shape generation. Fungal impacts on humans and on general ecology include both major beneficial and detrimental effects, ranging from recycling and biotechnology to pathogenesis. In order to better use or control fungal activities, we need improved understanding of their growth, metabolism, reproduction, and environmental responses. In addition, although fungi have few cell types and simple cell structures compared to animals, fungal and animal physiology are fundamentally similar. This facilitates medically relevant knowledge transfer from experimental studies using fungi.

我的研究计划的目标是更好地了解控制真菌细胞形状生成的因素。真菌对人类和一般生态的影响包括主要的有益和有害影响，从回收和生物技术到发病机制。为了更好地利用或控制真菌活动，我们需要更好地了解它们的生长，代谢，繁殖和环境反应。此外，虽然真菌与动物相比具有较少的细胞类型和简单的细胞结构，但真菌和动物生理学基本相似。这有助于从使用真菌的实验研究中转移医学相关知识。
