Amy Enright spends most of her work day thinking about an invisible world. She first discovered this world of microbes in a high school biology class where she learned about DNA and genetic engineering. “I was becoming fascinated with this whole other world that we can’t really see but has such a huge impact on …
Emily successfully defended her dissertation “Uncovering the distinct growth characteristics of Candida auris in the skin microenvironment”.
Why are some species generalists and others specialists? To answer that, a team led by UW genetics professor Chris Todd Hittinger and a colleague at Vanderbilt University mapped genetic blueprints, appetites, and environments of more than 1,000 species of yeasts, building a family tree that illuminates how these single-celled fungi evolved over the past 400 …
