Research Interests

Dr. Kuhlmann’s research interests in the laboratory of Dr. Stephen M. Beverley focus on drug development against the neglected tropical disease, leishmaniasis. Current antileishmanial agents are toxic, expensive, or ineffective due to drug resistance. Novel therapies are needed to safely control the spread of disease.  Targets of current interest include sterol synthesis, sphingolipid synthesis, and TOR kinases.
