Brief description Penicillium marneffei is a fungus that causes disease in patients with depressed immunity. This project models this infection in zebrafish, which have advantages for modelling infectious disease. It uses fluorescent fungi and fish with fluorescent immune cells to study the way white blood cells fight this infection, and mutant zebrafish and mutant fungi to find new therapeutic targets in the host-pathogen interaction.
