The goal of this project is to develop a standardized test that measures immune cellular response to Coccidioides antigens. This assay is useful in a variety of clinical scenarios. It could serve as a diagnostic test for active CM. an indicator of whether or not prophylactic antifungal therapy is needed. a marker of severe infection with disseminated disease and/or a correlate of prolonged antifungal therapy.

We aim to develop a high-throughput fluorescent assay of Orf10-CUL2 binding; identify candidate inhibitors of Orf10-CUL2 binding by computational screening; evaluate impact of these molecules on SARS-CoV-2 replication in cell-based assays and in the mouse model; and develop medicinal chemistry infrastructure for optimization of Orf10 inhibitors.
