	Deanna A. Sutton The research interests of the Fungus Testing Laboratory encompass two broad arms. The first area of interest includes the evaluation of antifungal agents. The second arm of our research involves being actively engaged in promoting accurate taxonomy, nomenclature, and classification of pathogenic fungi.
