5. Expertise and research interests
5.1. Main research orientation.
Our main research focuses on exploitation of fungal genome databases and development of highly efficient systems for genetic transformation, homologous/heterologous gene expression and genome editing in order to create hyper-producing fungal strains (Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum, Cordyceps militaris, Myceliophthora thermophila, ...) for production of enzymes/proteins or bioactive substances. In addition, we are also interested in using modern biotechnological techniques to identify target genes as weapon of fungal pathogens (Penicillium digitatum, Fusarium oxysporum, ...) for plant infection and to produce antifungal biofertilizers (Bacillus, Trichoderma) for efficiently controlling these pathogens.
