Fungal Kingdom: Threats & Opportunities

Connect

Ene Lab

About

As a molecular mycologist, Iuliana Ene is interested in identifying and addressing current challenges in tackling human fungal infections. There is a dire need of improved diagnostics and novel therapies. Emerging fungal threats, including recent outbreaks in human and animal populations, have intensified these needs. Ene’s research seeks to advance our fundamental understanding of how fungi interact with their hosts, how they adapt to challenges posed by our host defence systems, and how they escape and adapt to antifungal therapy. She also aims to leverage this knowledge for the development of improved therapeutic strategies.
