Summary

Fungal pathogens threaten our health and kill over a million patients worldwide. In this project, we will deploy cutting-edge epigenetics research and medical microbiology to better understand how pathogenic fungi respond to anti-cancer drugs. Our goal is to rationalise the impact of cancer treatment on fungal pathogens.
