Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Christina Cuomo is an active researcher at John Brown University focused on fungal biology, particularly concerning fungal infections and antifungal resistance. Her work extends to plant pathogens and fungal diseases, including the study of mycorrhizal fungi and their interactions with plants, as well as yeasts and rust fungi. Recent investigations include a genome-wide analysis uncovering novel multidrug resistance mechanisms in *Candida auris*. Cuomo's research has also identified the first mechanism of amphotericin B resistance in *Candida auris* through in-vivo studies, along with clade-specific chromosomal rearrangements. She also explores differential expression analysis of multi-species RNA-seq.
