Meet Jan Van Kan, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Van Kan's research focuses on necrotrophic fungal pathogens of plants investigating molecular mechanisms of infection, and the development of strategies to combat plant diseases. Register today for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr. Van Kan.
Meet Aleeza Gerstein, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Gerstein's research applies evolutionary principles and statistical methods to understand the evolution of human fungal pathogens in the context of drug resistance and chronic infection. Register today for #CFN26 to hear more from Dr. Gerstein.

There's still one week left to submit an abstract #CanFunNet26 🍄 🗓️
Come tell us about the cool fungal research you've been up to at this low cost, virtual meeting!
Please share with any budding young mycologists/microbiologists/molecular biologists who might be interested in coming to do an MSc or PhD! We are looking to recruit a student to follow up on some of our observations about ROS resistance and sensitivity in yeasts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Yeasts are exposed to oxidative stress during routine metabolism, bioproduction, and interactions with other organisms. Here, the authors use a machine learning classifier to identify genes that are p...
