VIRAL PLASTICITY UNDERLYING TROPISM AND PATHOGENESIS/ INNATE IMMUNE EVASION OF EMERGING VIRUSES

A postdoc position is immediately available at the Institute of Microbiology (IMUL) of the University of Lausanne and University Hospital Center to investigate the response of the fungal pathogen Candida glabrata in animal models. This fungal pathogen develops rapidly resistance to current antifungal drugs, which intriguingly increases its fitness in vivo (1).
