Great intro to this evening #FungalGRC24 session topic of Sensing, Signaling and Developmental Communication by Lori @LoriHuberman Check the Huberman Lab website blogs.cornell.edu/huberman/

Welcome to the Huberman Lab

We’re interested in understanding how fungi sense and respond to their environment. We use genetic and genomic techniques spanning from classical molecular biology to high-throughput functional...

CALS fungal biologist @LoriHuberman has been awarded a $1.9M @NIH grant to study how fungi sense and use nutrients - basic research that could inform treatment of #cancer, #obesity, #type2diabetes and fungal infections. news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
“Our hope is that by finding new pathways by which cells are regulating growth, and by better understanding how they are integrating signals about how much nitrogen, carbon and phosphate are around, this could potentially help with finding new treatment for slowing the growth of cancer cells." Lori Huberman, assistant professor, School of Integrative Plant Science
