Monika Schmoll

Monika Schmoll is a Professor at the University of Vienna, affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Research. Her work focuses on Trichoderma species, particularly their signal transduction pathways, secondary metabolism, and plant-microbe interactions.

Research interests include:

• Deciphering how Trichoderma integrates carbon sensing with environmental adaptation
• Elucidating G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) functions in enzyme regulation
• Exploring light-dependent gene regulation mechanisms
• Biotechnological applications of fungal physiology

Recent publications highlight:

• Signal integration networks (G-protein pathways, carbon metabolism)
• Secondary metabolite clusters for plant colonization
• MAPkinase roles in development and enzyme production
• Environmental sensing via class XIII GPCRs
