FUNGAL BIOLOGY AT UGA

Fungal Molecular Biology Group Meeting, April, 2006

Fungal Molecular Biology Group

Six fungal molecular biology labs meet together every week. Postdocs, grad students, undergrads, techs and PIs present their latest work or a paper from the literature. It is a diverse, collegial group with lots of great ideas to share.

Participating research Groups: Covert Lab (Molecular Genetics of plant-fungal interactions, Fusarium circinatum, Cronartium quercuum f.sp. fusiforme and Ustilago maydis), Glenn Lab (Endophytic Fungi and their interactions with hosts, Fusarium verticilliodes, Neotyphodium coenophialum), Glover Lab (Role and mechanism of Casein Kinase II, Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Gold Lab (Molecular biology of plant-fungal pathogen interactions, Ustilago maydis), Momany Lab (Polarity, cell wall and cell cycle in Aspergillus nidulans and A. fumigatus), Schmidt Lab (Biosynthesis of isoprenylated signaling molecules in S. cerevisiae).
