Mycology and Eukaryotic Microbiology Sessions

Mycology and Eukaryotic Microbiology Sessions

By focusing directly on human-microbe interactions and therapeutic innovation, this track bridges fundamental eukaryotic pathogen research with clinical application, uncovering how fungal communities shape systemic health and how next-generation antimicrobials can overcome evolving resistance.

Key Main Learning Outcomes

By participating in these sessions, you will:
  • Evaluate molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic pathogenesis and explore innovative therapeutic strategies to combat antifungal resistance.
  • Assess the complex roles of human-associated fungal communities (the mycobiome) in maintaining homeostasis and driving systemic diseases.
  • Discover translational approaches for targeting eukaryotic virulence pathways in clinical environments.
