Research interests
Research Institute of Medical Mycology (RIMM)
Research interests of our RIMM lab lie in antifungal resistance and epidemiology of fungal infections. Our research emphasizes the importance of continued epidemiological surveillance studies to detect antifungal drug-resistant fungi, focusing on their pathogenicity, to improve the outcome of patients with fungal infections. Our current works include a) nationwide antifungal surveillance study of candidemia, b) the clinical outcomes and molecular mechanisms of antifungal resistant Candida strains, and c) development of new rapid diagnostic techniques—including techniques for candidemia detection, species identification, antifungal susceptibility testing, to enable timely administration of appropriate antifungal therapy.
