Ashley V. Nywening

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ashley V. Nywening's research investigates mechanisms of fungal growth and pathogenesis, with a particular focus on the fungus *Aspergillus fumigatus*. Her work has explored the roles of specific genes and signaling pathways in fungal development, cell wall integrity, and virulence. Nywening has published research on the essentiality of the *erg6* gene for *Aspergillus* viability and the regulation of septation initiation network (SIN) signaling by MOB proteins, which impacts echinocandin activity. She has also studied the contribution of the *maiA* gene to cell wall homeostasis and virulence, and identified a conserved fungal morphogenetic kinase that regulates pathogenic growth in response to nutrient availability. Nywening's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, 17 total publications, and 250 total citations.
