Marie-Curie Research Training Network

Host-pathogen interaction systems as tools to
identify antifungal targets in C. albicans and C. dubliensis

One of the major tasks the Life Science industry faces in the coming years is to validate a plethora of targets for treatment of various diseases and the identification of novel lead compounds to generate novel pharmaceutics specifically acting on the targets identified.

What is CanTrain?

The “CanTrain” network will train both early and experienced researchers in the methodologies necessary for drug development, including target identification, target validation, development of cell-based screening assays all of which is required for drug screening and lead compound identification. For this purpose “CanTrain” addresses infectious diseases caused by fungal pathogens, especially strategies for the identification of novel antifungal drugs. [read more in Introduction]
