Unraveling the pathophysiology of Virus-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis: viruses and fungi combine efforts to make a perfect storm KU Leuven
The overall goal of this project is to shed light on the underlying mechanisms by which influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 infections lead to invasive aspergillosis. Moreover, we aim to identify the key defining processes that explain why certain viral infections can lead to dangerous fungal co-infections, while others do not. Our approach entails the establishment of a collection of virus-Aspergillus fumigatus co-infection models using optically ...
