This project investigates the interaction between fungi and their hosts, focusing on the effector proteins that fungi use to evade host immune responses. By studying these proteins in model organisms, the project aims to uncover their functions and potential applications in biotechnology and medicine.
In nature, fungi live in close contact with many different hosts: plants, other fungi, insects and even vertebrates including humans.
They do so because the host often supplies key nutrients, which enables the fungus to grow and successfully reproduce.
In many cases though, a fungus can act as a parasite and infects the host.
As a result, the host mounts an immune reaction to combat the fungal infection.
The fungus, in turn, has evolved ways to circumvent the immune reaction.
