Sonja L. Knowles is a National Institutes of Health F31 fellow and member of the Oberlies research group, where she studies the chemistry and pharmacology of fungal metabolites. She received her BS degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Rhode Island, where she worked as an undergraduate student on a natural products research project with Dr. Navindra Seeram. A former T32 fellow, Sonja’s F31 studies the evolution of fungal pathogenicity, a project being conducted in close collaboration with evolutionary biologist Dr. Antonis Rokas at Vanderbilt University. When not using a droplet probe to study the interaction of co-cultured fungi, Sonja is engaged in mentorship of junior chemistry students and participates extensively in science education outreach activities.
Sonja enjoys reading novels of any kind, expanding her diverse wardrobe, as well as hanging out with her cat Bobo.
