ProjectAspergillosis – Multimodal preclinical imaging of Aspergillus fumigatus invasion and treatment

Basic data

Acronym:
Aspergillosis
Title:
Multimodal preclinical imaging of Aspergillus fumigatus invasion and treatment
Duration:
01/05/2023 to 30/04/2026
Abstract / short description:
Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is a ubiquitous mold, whose airborne spores are frequently
inhaled. While immunocompetent people do not suffer from a related infection, people with a
compromised immune system frequently develop an invasive infection from the lungs resulting from inhalation of A.
fumigatus, termed invasive Aspergillosis (IA). To address this clinical need, the use of targeted contrast agents for molecular imaging
techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or Single Photon Emission
Tomography (SPECT) could provide an efficient solution.
