We have evidence that not only does C. albicans respond to the presence of immune cells, but it can actively alter phagocyte function as well. These preliminary studies are highly intriguing and we are actively pursuing these ideas. If you are interested in additional details, please contact us. If you are interested in joining our group either as a graduate student or post-doctoral fellow, let us know!
