Belden Lab

The Belden Lab from the Department of Biological Sciences will have several native amphibians to see. Many amphibian populations around the world have disappeared in recent years. One of the primary causes of these declines is a fungal infection. In our lab, we are working to develop a treatment that prevents fungal infection by using natural bacteria that can live on amphibian skin and that produce compounds that inhibit fungal growth.
