    Dr. Swidergall focuses on cellular and molecular factors that regulate the immune response against mucosal and invasive fungal infections. His goal is to develop a detailed mechanistic understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of innate and adaptive immunity against fungal pathogens with an aim to devise novel strategies to supplement the current antifungal drug treatment.
