Elucidating the pathobiology of Candida albicans
The Hall lab is interested in understanding the biology and virulence factors of fungal pathogens. Our research largely focuses on the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which causes a range of infections from superficial mucosal infections (i.e. Read more
A systems biology analysis of thioredoxin reductase inhibition to support discovery of a novel antifungal treatment
Fungal diseases affect approximately 1.2 billion individuals worldwide with at least 1.5 million deaths each year. The emergence of resistant strains made clinical treatment failures more frequent. Read more
Doctoral Researcher (f/div/m) in Adaptive Pathogenicity Strategies
Job Advertisement. Leibniz-HKI-17/2023. The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI, www.leibniz-hki.de) investigates the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and identifies targets for the development of novel natural product-based antibiotics. Read more
Polymeric nanocomplex delivery of CRISPR to plant and fungal cells
About the project. This nanobiotechnology project aims to develop efficient nanoparticle biomolecule delivery systems for plant and fungal cells. Read more
How does Aspergillus fumigatus activate the inflammasome?
Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality, with more people dying from the ten main invasive fungal diseases than from tuberculosis or malaria. Read more
Antimicrobial potency of the airway epithelium in health and disease
Background. Human lungs must balance elimination of a myriad of toxic or pathogenic particles inhaled daily with maintenance of tissue homeostasis to avoid lung disease and ultimately respiratory failure. Read more
Fungal project: Biosynthetic pathway discovery and characterization
The Ferrier Institute has established a world-class reputation in nature-inspired synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and analysis and has extended its expertise into the areas of synthetic and chemical biology, chemical immunology, and natural product isolation. Read more
Identifying and validating novel drug targets related to metabolism in pathogenic fungi
Pathogenic fungi are responsible for illness and death across the globe. Diseases are caused by known, remerging and new fungal pathogens, highlighting the need for advancing therapeutics. Read more
Fungal life in soil: attachment and microbial communication
Background. Fungi are drivers for soil bacterial community structure. At the same time, fungal hyphae are “highways” for bacterial movement in soil. Read more
Exploring molecular mechanisms of drug resistance and pathogenicity in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus
A. fumigatus is the primary etiological agent of invasive aspergillosis, a disease that primarily affects individuals who are immunocompromised, and causes 200k life threatening infections annually. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Identifying host genetic factors shaping rhizosphere microbiome during root disease (ARORA_J23CASE)
Legumes play an important role in the diversification and sustainability of agriculture. Peas are a valuable legume crop as they contribute to meeting the growing demand for plant protein worldwide. Read more
