Project description
The project enables a scientist from the Czech University of Life Sciences to travel to a foreign scientific institution, Medizinische Universität Wien, and to work on a research project submitted to the MSCA-IF scheme, H2020 programme. The proposed research project aims to elucidate the role of a group of recently identified proteases of flukes called prolyl oligopeptidases and to determine how proteases interact with the host. An important aspect is to establish collaboration with a European institution and to contribute to drug/vaccine development.
