Nora Shamoon, B.A.

Nora is currently studying the prevalent human fungal pathogen, C. albicans, during the infection of a host. She is interested in investigating the genes and morphological forms of C. albicans that are important for host infection. She is using CRISPR/Cas9 and in vivo infection studies to determine the molecular pathways of the pathogen that give rise to its virulence.
