The project\u00a0\u201cJoining forces to exploit the mycobiota of Asia, Africa and Europe for beneficial metabolites and potential biocontrol agents, using-OMICS techniques (MYCOBIOMICS)\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0led by\u00a0Prof. Marc Stadler<\/strong>, Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, Germany, in cooperation with\u00a0Dr. Jennifer Luangsa-ard<\/strong>, Team Leader of Plant Microbe Interaction Research Team, and research institutes from Europe and Africa, was successfully funded by\u00a0the European Commission\u2019s H2020-MSCA-RISE framework<\/strong>\u00a0for a total amount of\u00a0EUR 1,375,400<\/strong>\u00a0(THB 51,035,377).\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
MYCOBIOMICS<\/strong> focuses on both basic and applied mycology to explore beneficial secondary metabolites for the development of antibiotics and eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides through international network of research organizations and staff exchange. MYCOBIOMICS<\/strong>\u00a0embarks upon the success of H2020-MSCA-RISE project \u201cGolden mycological triangle-joining forces to exploit mycological biodiversity for novel anti-infectives and other beneficial metabolites\u201d (GoMyTri). Since 2014, GoMyTri has laid the groundwork for interdisciplinary collaboration among leading research institutes from Germany, the Netherlands, and Thailand. The collaborative research, staff exchange, and cross-sector training conducted in GoMyTri resulted in high-quality joint scientific publications, as well as exchange of young scientists.\u00a0MYCOBIOMICS<\/strong>, as a result, continues to solidify the consortium and diversify know-how by involving prestigious research institutes and universities from Austria, the Czech Republic, Kenya and South Africa.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
With the implementation of Omics technologies, MYCOBIOMICS<\/strong> expands its research on fungal biodiversity and ecology, and potential applications of fungi in biotechnology by using genomics, molecular biology and transcriptomics to discover novel useful secondary metabolites and identify candidates for anti-infective drugs. Furthermore, MYCOBIOMICS<\/strong> aims to explore two distinctive fungal genera that are crucial in global agriculture: Fusarium spp. and Trichoderma spp. The knowledge and technology-shared within the consortium will enable the scientists to tackle health and agricultural issues posed by detrimental fungi and how to combat them.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
