MEDICAL MYCOLOGY

这是一个医学真菌学的项目。 每个研究项目都包含 该计划涉及医学真菌学的重要领域， 由该领域的专家指导。 虽然该计划分为 虽然这些项目是独立的，但它们是相互关联的，并通过这种相互作用得到加强。 实际上，这是一种协调一致的办法，以实现改善 全身真菌感染的结果。 该计划中的项目包括以下内容：1。的分子生物学 二型病原真菌组织胞浆菌的生长和相变 荚膜 2.开发新的敏感和特异性诊断方法 这将允许系统性真菌感染的早期诊断。 3.主机 真菌的相互作用，涉及体液和细胞介导的免疫 对病原真菌的反应。 4.新形式的化疗的发展， 更有效地利用老年人。 5.协调一致的努力， 该计划的参与者教授医学真菌学的现代方法。

This is a program in medical mycology. Each of the research projects contained in the program is concerned with an important area of medical mycology and is directed by an expert in that area. Although the program is divided into separate projects, they are interrelated and strengthened by this interaction. In effect, this is a coordinated approach to the objective of improving the outcome of systemic fungal infections. The projects in the program involve the following: 1. The molecular biology of growth and phase transition of the dimorphic pathogenic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. 2. Development of new sensitive and specific diagnostic methods which will allow earlier diagnosis of systemic fungal infections. 3. Host fungal interactions which involve the role of humoral and cell mediated immune responses to pathogenic fungi. 4. Development of new forms of chemotherapy and more efficient use of the older agents. 5. A coordinated effort using the participants in the program to teach a modern approach to medical mycology.
