Advanced optical imaging methods to unravel host-pathogen interactions in mouse models of fungal (super)infection KU Leuven
Fungal infections in a context of pre-existing immunodeficiency or lung disease are often life-threatening complications, but our knowledge on the interplay of pathogen and host factors involved still contains important therapeutic, methodological and fundamental gaps. Host factors inhibit or facilitate infection dissemination, and we lack insight in this paradoxical role of immune cells. To address these challenges, we here want to develop ...
