From Omics to Patient: Improving Diagnostics of Pathogenic Yeasts (OPATHY)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

OPATHY is an innovative translational research training network that will explore the potential of omics technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, to study the interactions of yeasts that cause disease to humans (e.g. Candida and Cryptococcus sp.) with their host, and to develop new diagnostic tools to monitor yeast infections in the clinic. Today, these infections are poor ...

Imaging Mass Spectrometry of Fungal – Bacterial Interplay (FUNBIT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

FUNBIT aims to enhance the discovery rate of natural products applying a multidisciplinary workflow guided by Imaging MS.Microbial genetics predict that the natural products we have discovered so far are only the tip of the iceberg, thus we may be missing the antibiotics and biopesticides of the future. In fact, many natural compounds remain invisible under standard laboratory conditions, but thei ...

European Consortium for High-Throughput Research in Rare Kidney Diseases (EURENOMICS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

EURenOmics will integrate several established consortia devoted to rare kidney diseases with eminent need and potential for diagnostic and therapeutic progress (i.e. steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome, membranous nephropathy, tubulopathies, complement disorders such a haemolytic uraemic syndrome, and congenital kidney malformations). The Consortium has access to the largest clinical cohorts asse ...

Quantitative Biology for Fungal Secondary Metabolite Producers (QuantFung)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

QuantFung represents the first European training platform for the production of novel bioactive compounds based on fungal synthetic biology. The ITN will train 11 early-stage (ESR) and 4 experienced researchers (ER) as new problem-solving, creative European scientists in interdisciplinary and intersectorial biotechnological research ranging from modelling, network analysis, systems biology (genomi ...

KRAB zinc finger gene biology in evolution and disease (KRAB-ZNF)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The „KRAB-ZNF“ initiative is driven by recent observations that KRAB-ZNF genes, an evolutionarily conserved gene family of more than 350 transcriptional repressors encoded in the human genome, are predominantly expressed in testis and fetal brain. To elucidate functions of KRAB ZNF genes in evolution and diseases, experts in KRAB ZNF gene biology (B1/P1), proteomics (B1/P2), systems biology and ag ...

Signaling circuitry controlling fungal virulence: identification and characterization of conserved and specific fungal virulence genes as common antifungal targets (ARIADNE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,

"Fungi are heterotrophic microorganisms with devastating impact on agriculture and human health. Agricultural production worth billions of € is destroyed annually by fungal diseases. Human fungal infections have severe consequences on the growing number of immuno-compromised patients, with high mortality rates associated with Aspergillus and Candida infections. There is a critical need to further ...

Identification of new molecules able to bypass the cell wall compensatory pathways in the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (CellWallPath)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important air-borne fungal pathogen, causing severe infections with invasive growth in immunocompromised patients. For growth in all habitats, the fungus needs to be able to sense environmental stimuli and to transduce signals via specific signalling cascades. Calmodulin/calcineurin, Ras/cAMP, mTOR and general Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pat ...

Pathogenomics and Systems Biology of Fungal Infections – An Integrative Approach (FINSysB)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The vision of the FINSysB Network is to generate bright, ambitious and well-trained young researchers capable of contributing significantly to the knowledge-base and economy of the European Union. We will achieve this goal by providing a strong, multidisciplinary training for early stage and experienced researchers in the pathobiology, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and systems biolo ...

Unravelling the infectome of Candida albicans (CaInfectome)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

The opportunistic human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans causes a wide range of serious disease manifestations, especially in individuals with an impaired immune system. The ability of C. albicans to successfully infect almost every anatomical niche of the human host is both a serious medical problem and an interesting biological property. It is known from in vitro transcriptional profiling that ...
