Biography

 Dr. Alexander Idnurm  is interested in gene functions and their evolution in model and pathogenic fungi. Dr. Alexander Idnurm  research includes analysis of genes involved in fungal photobiology, pathogenesis, spore formation, and viability. He currently work with three groups of fungi, those in the genus Cryptococcus, the red yeasts in the Pucciniomycotina, and species of Phycomyces and its relatives in the Mucoromycotina. For comparative purposes we often also use model ascomycetes like Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe or Neurospora crassa.
