Project title : Investigation of the innate and adaptive immune response induced by opportunistic pathogen Candida parapsilosis

My main focus of research is to identify the role of C. parapsilosis secreted aspartic acid proteases (SAPPs) in complement component-C3, C5 FH, FI and complement receptor-CR1(CD35), CR2, CR3(Cd11b/CD18), CR4 (CD11c/CD18) regulation. I’m also interested in identifying complement receptor-mediated signalling induced by the Sapps
