Strategic Focus
To study virulence, antigenicity, susceptibility to antifungal, and growth control of fungi through functional genomics. To optimize diagnostic methods and propose new methodologies for the identification of causal agents of cutaneous, subcutaneous and deep mycosis. To know the frequency, distribution and etiological agents of greatest impact in our environment. To determine fundamental aspects of the host-fungus interaction through the study of the innate immune response against endemic and opportunistic fungi.
