They cause superficial infections of the scalp (tinea capitis) in humans and ringworm in cats and dogs. They belong to the family Arthrodermataceae and are most commonly found in humid and warm climates. They have numerous multi-celled macroconidia which are typically spindle-shaped with 5-15 cells, verrucose, thick-walled, often having a terminal knob and 35-110 by 12-25 µm. In addition, they produce septate hyphae and microconidia and the Microsporum canis genome is estimated at 23 Mb. The fungus is transmitted from animals to humans when handling infected animals or by contact with arthrospores contaminating the environment. Spores are very resistant and can live up to two years infecting animals and humans. They will attach to the skin and germinate producing hyphae, which will then grow in the dead, superficial layers of the skin, hair or nails. They secrete a 31.5 kDa keratinolytic subtilisin-like protease as well as three other subtilisin- like proteases (SUBs), SUB1, SUB2 and SUB3, which cause damage to the skin and hair follicle. Keratinolytic protease also provides the fungus nutrients by degrading keratin structures into easily absorbable metabolites. Infection leads to a hypersensitive reaction of the skin. The skin becomes inflamed causing the fungus to move away from the site to normal, uninfected skin.

I received my undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Crete, Greece (1998) and my PhD from Edinburgh University, Scotland (2001). Prior to joining Vanderbilt in the summer of 2007, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2002 – 2005) and a research scientist at the Broad Institute (2005 – 2007). Research in my laboratory focuses on the study of the DNA record to gain insight into the patterns and processes of evolution. Through a combination of computational and experimental approaches, my laboratory’s current research aims to understand the molecular foundations of the fungal lifestyle, the reconstruction of the tree of life, and the evolution of human pregnancy. I serve on many journals’ editorial boards, including eLife, Current Biology, BMC Genomics, BMC Microbiology, G3:Genes|Genomes|Genetics, Fungal Genetics & Biology, Evolution, Medicine & Public Health, Frontiers in Microbiology, Microbiology Resource Announcements, and PLoS ONE. My team’s research has been recognized by many awards, including a Searle Scholarship (2008), an NSF CAREER award (2009), a Chancellor’s Award for Research (2011), and an endowed chair (2013). Most recently, I was named a Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists Finalist (2017), a Guggenheim Fellow (2018), and a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology (2019).

Abstract Psychrotolerant hyphomycetes including unrecognized taxon are commonly found in bat hibernation sites in Upstate New York. During a mycobiome survey, a new fungal species, Chrysosporium morrisgordonii sp. nov., was isolated from bat White-nose syndrome (WNS) afflicted Graphite mine in Warren County, New York. This taxon was distinguished by its ability to grow at low temperature spectra from 6°C to 25°C. Conidia were tuberculate and thick-walled, globose to subglobose, unicellular, 3.5-4.6 µm ×3.5-4.6 µm, sessile or borne on narrow stalks.
