Arielle Woznica is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research focuses on investigating the molecular mechanisms by which choanoflagellates, which are the closest living relatives to animals, interact with the microbial world. Specifically, she studies how choanoflagellates recognize and respond to bacteria and viruses, aiming to uncover the immune mechanisms that these organisms employ. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolution of eukaryotic animal immune pathways. Her research areas encompass Molecular Biology, Genetics, Infectious Disease, Immunology, Microbiology, and Evolution. Through her studies, she aims to elucidate key interactions within ecosystems and the evolutionary significance of immune responses in simple eukaryotic organisms.
