Peter Lipke's Web site
Peter Lipke is a microbiologist interested in the surface of fungi. Specifically, his group studies how protein amyloids affect adhesion of the fungi, the host response to colonization by fungi, and whether amyloid-targeted drugs can be developed as antifungals. His interests also include science education, minority opportunities in science, mentoring and student development. He has authored 100 papers and several patent applications, and has been elected to the American Academy of Microbiology and as a Fellow of the AAAS. He also play trumpet in the College Jazz Band.
Education:
Ph.D., University of California - Berkeley - 1976 (Biochemistry)
B.S., University of Chicago - 1971 (Chemistry)
Areas of Expertise:
Lipke's lab recently discovered that amyloid can be functional: they activate cell adhesion proteins in yeast and other fungi. We investigate the role of amyloids in interactions between fungi, between fungi and bacteria, and between host and pathogen. We also investigate glycoprotein structure and function, bioinformatics, structure and biogenesis of fungal cell walls. The lab's studies are informed by bioinformatic studies in protein structure and evolution.
