The following bullet points characterise my scientific interests and research:
- Metabolic physiology of fungi during host infection
- Biochemical characterisation of metabolic pathways (enzyme purification and characterisation)
- Development of infection models
- Generation of fungal reporter strains
- In vivo imaging of the infection process
- Secondary metabolites from Aspergillus terreus (gene regulation, product formation, biological activity)
