Join us for the up-coming Fungal Symposium - Understanding and Confronting Fungal Infections - an Underappreciated Public Health Threat, 7 – 8 October 2024.

Fungal infections pose a significant global health challenge, impacting over one billion individuals and claiming ~3.8 million lives annually. The emergence and evolution of fungal pathogens resistant to all major classes of antifungals severely limit treatment options. Climate change and the emergence of novel fungal pathogens threaten to further compound this challenge in the coming decades. In response to this urgent issue, our symposium seeks to bring together experts from around the world and within our local community, focusing on various crucial aspects of fungal diseases. By fostering collaborative efforts and sharing insights, we aim to advance our understanding of these infections, explore cutting-edge treatment strategies, and ultimately work towards effective solutions.

Leaders in the field will be sharing their expertise with Prof. Neil AR. Gow and Prof. Julian Naglik as our keynote speakers. We invite you to participate in this event in the heart of Asia. 5 short talks will be selected from the submitted abstracts.
