title: Host-microbe interactions: fungi invasive human fungal opportunistic infections.
abstract: Jean-Paul's research interest is focused on the analysis of the structure and biosynthesis of the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus and its interaction with the host. The A. fumigatus genome will now be used to understand multifactorial systems such as fungal virulence of an opportunistic fungus in an immunocompromised host and assembly and regulation of cell wall polymer rearrangement under the control of the environment.
