EUGLOHRIA TALKS is a series of video reports that presents the most innovative researchers and researches of EUGLOH universities. As the founder of the alliance of nine leading European universities, the University of Szeged also appeared in the series, with three reports.
In his HCEMM project (entitled as ‘The link between fungal colonization and cancer progression’), his research group aims to reveal mechanisms activated during fungi-driven oral cancer (oral squamous cell carcinoma) progression in vitro and in vivo.
The group’s main research interest involves the exploration of the oral mycobiome’s role in health and disease. Previously, the group has shown that through host miRNA regulation healthy epithelial cells actively discriminate between highly or less pathogenic opportunistic pathogenic Candida species such as C. albicans and C. parapsilosis in the oral cavity, that might be tightly associated with the presence of species-specific antigens. These results also raised a potential in immune training with C. parapsilosis that is more likely to induce tolerogenic responses from healthy oral epithelial cells under physiological conditions.
