Funded Activity Summary

Fungi which infect humans are a major health problem, especially for those with compromised immune systems (eg. AIDS, transplant and cancer patients). Pathogenic fungi must evade the host s immune system whilst deriving nutrients for growth. Some fungi evade the immune system by residing within host cells. This poses significant challenges to growth due to the nutrient poor environment. By understanding how these fungi adapt to growth inside host cells, new avenues for treatment will emerge.
