FungalTolerance Unraveling the complexity of fungal drug tolerance at multiple scales of biology

Coordinator: TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY (IL)

Mortality from invasive fungal infections approaches 50%, despite the use of available antifungal drugs. While bacterial studies have focused on drug resistance, the rare appearance of antifungal drug resistance does not explain these treatment failures. Antifungal tolerance is a poorly understood property that is expressed to different degrees in different non-resistant isolates, yet has not been measured routinely in the clinic or in most research studies. We do not know how tolerance differs between isolates, what biological mechanisms drive it, how it affects only some cells in a single i…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €9.7M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 7 years from 2021-03-01 to 2028-02-29.
