Singh HITS Lab employs cutting-edge bioinformatics, immunoproteomics, and molecular biology approaches to characterize Candida auris cell surface proteins, known as adhesins, and identify novel surface proteins. We aim to understand Candida auris-host pathogenic and immune mechanisms and leverage this knowledge to develop novel immune-based prophylactic and therapeutic interventions using clinically relevant infection models.
