Research project funded by NIAID to study Candida albicans colonization resistance using genetic approaches and murine models, aiming to prevent invasive candidiasis.
Description
The project focuses on understanding the mechanisms of Candida albicans colonization and developing strategies to prevent invasive candidiasis. The project involves in vivo and in vitro models, including murine models. The research aims to explore the role of oxygen availability and the impact of drugs like 5-aminosalicyclic acid (5-ASA). The project is funded for a period from May 20, 2026, to April 30, 2031.
