Aspergillus Cell Biology


The group is a leader in the field of cell biology of filamentous fungi. It has the key technological advantage of decades of experience in molecular biology, classical genetics, biochemistry and 4D (x,y,z,t) in vivo microscopy. Its basic research has important implications in environmental management and in biomedicine, both for its capacity to generate non-animal disease models and for the search for antifungal targets based on cell biological knowledge.
