Mycology and Eukaryotic Microbiology Sessions

Mycology and Eukaryotic Microbiology Sessions

Eukaryotic pathogens and fungal networks represent some of the most complex, climate-sensitive, and industrial-ready entities in science. This track provides a comprehensive look at how these varied organisms influence global sustainability, food supply chains, and human wellbeing.

Key Main Learning Outcomes

By participating in these sessions, you will:
  • Identify innovative therapeutic strategies to combat rising antimicrobial resistance in eukaryotic pathogens.
  • Explore the diversity, clinical relevance, and functional interactions of the under-explored human mycobiome.
  • Evaluate safe microbial starters, hygienic standards, and interventions to eliminate foodborne toxins and pathogens.
  • Assess how climate change impacts microbial ecology and leverage microbial tools for bioremediation and sustainability.
