EU-Funded Project on Invasive Fungal Disease Detection |
06 July 2018 |
Imm Six scientific institutions and companies from Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland and Germany, among them Molzym, joined in a FP7 project to develop, evaluate and market innovative tools for rapid IFD diagnosis. So far, efforts led to specific sets of novel molecular diagnostic tests targeting fungal DNA and protein markers as well as enzymatic activity of fungal pathogens. The establishment and implementation of specific sets of assays supported by Sanger and Next-Generation Sequencing and a bioinformatics service platform shall facilitate optimised treatment strategies adapted to individual patient requirements. Currently, the project is in the state of clinical evaluation including immuno-compromised patients. Please visit the project’s website for more detailed information. The research leading to results in this project receives funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013) under grant agreement n° 602125. |
