The molecular basis for fungal-fungal interactions represents my primary area of interest. During my PhD at the University of Pretoria, I studied the self/nonself recognition system of Amylostereum areolatum, which is a basidiomycete fungus of considerable importance in pine-based forestry. During my Postdoctoral studies at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, I participated in research on model fungi in the genus Heterobasidion where I specifically looked at self/nonself recognition from both bioinformatics and molecular perspectives. My current research focuses on fungal-fungal interactions among ascomycetes in the genus Ceratocystis where I am specifically interested in how the outcome of such interactions are determined and regulated at the molecular level.
