Research summary
AI-generated

Smriti Hoda's research focuses on disease-causing fungi in the genus Candida (including Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Candida auris), studying how these organisms regulate genes involved in producing ergosterol (a key component of fungal cell membranes) and how this relates to resistance against antifungal drugs called azoles. The work also develops new genetic tools, such as CRISPR-based methods and rapid protein-degradation systems, to study gene function in these pathogens and to understand processes like cell division and cell wall formation that affect how they cause disease.
