Dawoon Chung, Ph.D.

 
 
 





Dawoon recently joined the Cramer laboratory (July 2011) after completing her PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Brian Shaw at Texas A&M University. Dawoon specializes in the molecular biology of Aspergillus spp. and her project is primarily focusing on regulation mechanisms of the A. fumigatus SREBP, SrbA.
