Research in Lin laboratory focuses on medical mycology: We study the molecular mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis and microbial communication and development. We also investigate targeted drug delivery and antifungal vaccine development. The long-term goal of our research is to seek better approaches for the management of fungal diseases and to…

We study CRISPR-Cas immune systems that protect prokaryotes from viruses and provide powerful research tools for important biotechnology and biomedical applications.
