About the author (1998)

Alistair Brown has led an active research group in yeast molecular biology for over 15 years. Having started at Glasgow University, his group is now based at Aberdeen University, studying gene function and regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the control of morphogenesis in Candida albicans. The Aberdeen Candida Group is now one of the largest academic groups studying the molecular physiology of C. albicans.

Mick Tuite is a Professor of Molecular Biology in the Department of Biosciences at the University of Kent, UK He has published over 100 research papers and reviews in the area of yeast molecular biology and genetics and is a member of the editorial board of the journals Yeast and Molecular Microbiology.
