Description:About the Seminar\n\nFungal infections have a wide variety of i
 mpacts on the lives of everyday people. Dermatological fungal infections a
 re incredibly common\, and immunocompromised individuals can contract othe
 r\, rarer fungal infections that have mortality rates upwards of 70%. Broa
 d screening methods for fungal infections are desirable because current me
 thods\, like cultures\, take a considerable amount of time to yield result
 s. My work seeks to use small molecules as biomarkers for fungal infection
  by utilizing Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). Current res
 ults suggest the viability of such a method for multiple genera of fungi. 
 In this presentation\, two specific examples will be discussed: glucosamin
 e to detect Aspergillus niger\, a cause of invasive pulmonary aspergillos
 is in humans\, and S-sulfocysteine to detect Microsporum canis\, the main
  cause of dermatophytosis in cats. 4:00 pm
