Research summary
AI-generated

Tony R. Hazbun's research focuses on yeast and fungal molecular biology, including protein modifications (like N-terminal methylation), cell division in dormant (stationary-phase) yeast cells, and the discovery of drugs to fight fungal infections such as Cryptococcus and drug-resistant Candida. Related work also touches on protein phosphorylation pathways linked to cancer drug resistance and genetic disorders like Lowe Syndrome. This research combines basic biochemistry with applied drug-repurposing and disease-relevant genetics.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a notable spike in 2023 (largely due to supplementary materials from a single study) followed by a decline in 2024-2025.
