FUNGITECT Optimized Diagnostics for Improved Treatment Stratification in Invasive Fungal Diseases

Coordinator: ST ANNA KINDERKREBSFORSCHUNG VEREIN (AT)

Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the growing number of immunocompromised individuals, including particularly cancer patients, and bone-marrow or organ transplant recipients. The majority of IFD events are still caused by Candida and Aspergillus species, but there is an increasing incidence of resistant or previously uncommon moulds, yeasts and Zygomycetes. Timely pathogen detection is a prerequisite for effective therapy in patients with IFD.FUNGITECT will focus on this medical priority and develop, validate and market a specific set of novel mole…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €5.8M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2014-02-01 to 2019-01-31.
