Matthew Z. Anderson's research focuses on the genetics and biology of Candida albicans, a fungus that can live harmlessly in the human body or cause infections, examining how its genetic makeup and chromosome variations affect its ability to switch between commensal and disease-causing behavior. A second strand of his work involves human gut microbiome research, including studies with Indigenous communities that address ethical data-sharing and ownership issues alongside microbial ecology questions.
