Research Focus
Dr. Angie Gelli's lab at the University of California, Davis focuses on developing new antifungal treatments to combat serious fungal infections that threaten human health. Using innovative techniques, the lab aims to create and optimize antifungal peptides that can effectively target and destroy fungi while being safe for human cells. The research is critical as we face rising drug resistance in fungal pathogens and aims to create compounds that can save lives.
