Objective
The rapid rise in fungal infections represents an important socio-economic challenge for the Esther development of more effective ant fungal therapies independent upon an increased understanding of fungal virulence. This Consortium will focus on Candid albicans,the major fungal pathogen in humans. We will exploit the latest molecular and genomic technologies to generate the most comprehensive and integrated database on Candid virulence to date.Candida gene arrays will be used to monitor global responses to developmental changes, environmental stimuli and contact with host tissues. This will be combined with a novel screen to identify new host-fungus interactions as well as the molecular dissection of key fungal virulence factors: yeast-hyphen morph genesis, cell wall, phenotypic switching and secreted hydrolases.Our findings will be used to improve ant fungal therapies, and will be made public via our new relational Candid genomic database.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
