OverviewAI-generated summary
Ashley V. Nywening's research investigates mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis and antifungal drug action, with a specific focus on *Aspergillus fumigatus*. Her work has explored the role of fungal genes and proteins in host-pathogen interactions and the development of resistance to antifungal therapies. Recent publications examine the function of erg6 in fungal viability, the contribution of the maiA gene to the cell wall and virulence, and novel mechanisms of triazole antifungal action mediated by the hmg1 gene. Nywening has also studied the regulation of fungal growth and invasion by conserved kinases and signaling pathways, such as the septation initiation network (SIN), and how disruption of these pathways can impact antifungal drug efficacy. Her research contributes to understanding fungal biology and developing strategies to combat fungal infections.
