ERC Synergy Project studies drug tolerance in intractable fungal infections

(Charit é - Universit ä tsmedizin Berlin) Over the next six years, research groups at Charit é - Universit ä tsmedizin Berlin and Tel Aviv University will study how invasive fungal pathogens are able to evade treatments and develop tolerance to antifungal drugs. In addition to generating fundamental knowledge of fungal pathogens, this large project aims to provide new insights into fungal cell metabolism. This joint endeavor is supported by a European Research Council ERC Synergy Grant worth approximately € 9.7 million.
