We study how organisms respond to their environment, focusing on molecular mechanisms used by fungi. We collect and analyze genome-scale datasets to understand how fungi dynamically reorganize their RNA and protein to adapt to environmental change. This includes how fungi adapt to infect human hosts.
Disambiguation: This is the Edward Wallace Lab studying RNA and Systems Biology in Fungi. It is not to be confused with the Stephen Wallace Lab studying Chemical and Synthetic Biology, also in Edinburgh.
Welcome to honours students! This year’s students are focusing on some protein evolution projects, jointly supervised with Atlanta Cook.
Can bioimaging build capacity in fungi research? (blogpost linked) We are delighted to be collaborators on a new Wellcome-funded grant to improve bioimaging tools for studying fungi.
