Sascha Brunke

I am a post-doctoral researcher and deputy head of the department of Microbial Pathogenicity Mechanisms at the Hans-Knoll-Institut in Jena, Germany. My research activities are focused on the fungal pathogens of humans, Candida glabrata and C. albicans and their virulence mechanisms. Currently I'm focusing on the laboratory evolution of these important pathogens, and on the complex world of fungal metal acquisition during infections.
