QUADRAT DTP: Is nibbled, riddled and rotten good for health? Biodiverse stimulation of antiparasitic chemical production by plants and fungi
About the Project. Control of parasitic infections in grazing livestock is under severe strain from drug resistance and climate change, and new approaches are urgently needed. Read more
Award details iCASE: Looking for an Achilles Heel in the deadly fungi that cause Mucormycosis Ref
Project Summary: Invasive infections by Mucorales fungi are life-threatening complications of severe blast trauma. Mucorales are resistant to most antifungals and cause devastating infections, yet are poorly understood. Read more
Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials
Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more
Biology and genetics of reproduction in filamentous fungi
Fungi have beneficial but also detrimental properties. They are used for the production of foodstuffs and valuable pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Read more
Interactions between introduced tree species and native mycorrhizal fungi in the UK
Mycorrhizal symbioses are one of the most extensive and important biotic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, typically providing plants with improved access to nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates produced via photosynthesis. Read more
Virulence factors in dermatophytic fungi
Dermatophytosis is caused by fungi infecting keratinised tissues and represents the most common and disseminated group of mycoses. 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
Behavioural responses of bark beetles to visual and olfactory cues
Expected start date. Late September 2023. Bark beetles (family Scolytidae) are important components of forest ecosystems with certain species being pests that may cause significant loss to the forestry sector. Read more

Mechanistic understanding and drivers to anti-biofilm benefits in complex microbial models using a novel anti-biofilm technology
Microorganisms contained within a biofilm are much more resistant to desiccation, mechanical removal and the action of biocides and detergents. Read more
Investigating how large-scale genome instability in fungi contributes to the host-pathogen interactions.
Fungal infections affect billions of people, including >1.5 million global deaths each year. Our failure to achieve cure against fungal infections results from the high levels of tolerance and resistance to antifungal drugs in clinical fungal isolates. Read more
Doctoral Researcher (f/div/m) in Metagenomics
Job Advertisement. Leibniz-HKI-27/2023. The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) investigates the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and identifies targets for the development of novel natural product-based antibiotics. Read more
Development of antifungal nanotherapeutics containing AmB+ drug combinations using an advanced continuous manufacturing technology
Each year there are more than 150 million severe cases of fungal infection that occur globally, resulting in significant mortality. Read more
Establishing a Chitin Synthesis Reporter Assay for Pesticide Research
Agriculture is reliant on the chemical control of insect pests and fungal pathogens to ensure crop productivity. However, in recent years there has been an increase in resistance to chemical control amongst pest populations, leading to a loss of efficacy of previously effective control measures. 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
