Teresa Pawlowska

The Pawlowska lab studies the mechanisms underlying interactions between fungi and bacteria. We are interested in both, mutualisms and antagonisms. In mutualistic interactions, we want to discover novel mechanisms that stabilize these symbioses over evolutionary time. In antagonisms, we explore defense mechanisms that protect fungi from bacterial infections.
