Hi! I am Subhi and I come from the southern state of Tamilnadu in India. My fascination for genetic engineering has been the beacon for my scientific career which spans training in both basic and translational science. In the Hogan lab, my research investigates how environmental yeast species adapt to the host and aims to understand the impact of such adaptations on drug response. My work shows that molecular mechanisms affecting drug response are evolutionarily different between prevalent and emerging fungal pathogens of the Candida species. Beyond research, fungi have become an integral part of my lifestyle! I find them often on my hikes in the white mountains, as a stocked-up ingredient in my fridge and at times in my garden.
