Suzanne Noble
Suzanne Noble obtained MD and PhD degrees at the University of California, San Francisco, where she studied mechanisms of pre-mRNA splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Following clinical training in internal medicine and infectious diseases at Harvard Medical School and UCSF, Dr. Noble undertook a postdoc at UCSF, where she developed methods for performing high-throughput forward genetics in Candida albicans. Her parallel screens for fungal virulence in a mouse model of bloodstream infection and growth and morphogenesis in vitro identified some of the first morphogenesis-independent virulence factors in this organism. As an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at UCSF, her lab continues to study the mechanisms underlying fungal-host interactions in both health and disease, including mechanisms of C. albicans virulence in the bloodstream, C. albicans commensalism in the gut, and Candida auris colonization of mammalian skin.
