Biography

Jonathan received his BSc (Hons) degree and PhD from The University of Aberdeen and has maintained an interest in fungal biology for several years. Jonathan uses a combination of molecular biology, fungal genetics and cell biology to study the molecular basis of virulence in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans during mucosal infection. He is specifically interested in characterising the biological functionality of fungal proteins required to cause infection and damage in the human host.
