Deciphering the fungal immune system

Entretiempos #759 (Marcelo Soria-Rodríguez)

We investigate the molecular mechanisms of regulated cell death in filamentous fungi. Through a variety of approaches, we aim to establish the molecular bases of the fungal immune system. In the context of comparative immunology, our work contributes towards a better comprehension of the evolution of immune cell death.

The Lab

The Laboratory is situated at the campus of University of Bordeaux and is a part of the ImmunoConcept institute (UMR 5164). The Institute belongs to the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS, France).

Let’s Work Together

We’re always looking for curious and highly-motivated applicants to join us in our exploration of fungal immunity.
