The Madhani lab investigates gene regulation in health and disease
This is what the banner says, but in reality, we work on anything we find cool. Why? Because our aspiration is to not only discover new knowledge but also new principles. Accomplishing this higher goal requires intellectual curiosity, adventurousness, and nimbleness (and a sense of humor!). The lab is best known for its work on regulation of chromatin, RNA-based regulation, and host-fungal pathogen interactions (see our publications here). Depending on the question, the lab exploits different model systems, including the opportunistic pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans, which the lab has developed as both a model organism and a model pathogen, as well as mice and haploid human cells.
