The yeast Candida albicans and the filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus are by far the most important causes of life-threatening invasive mycoses in Europe. Despite the increasing incidence of these infections, the current diagnosis is still difficult and often too late, and options for therapies are limited. Moreover, A. fumigatus and C. albicans have developed multiple sophisticated, specific and unique pathogenicity mechanisms. Many of these mechanisms are not well understood. Research on ...

Dynamic optimization model to study control points in metabolic pathways to identify general strategies behind pathway regulation. Toxic intermediates determine which enzyme control pathway flux and prevent their accumulation. Therefore those enzymes are drug targets since deregulation leads to self-poisoning of pathogens.
