ISHAM invites all members and mycology colleagues to the ISHAM ASIA congress on August 5–7, 2021, in Bangkok, Thailand. ISHAM Asia, co-organized by ISHAM and its Asia Fungal Working Group, is the seminal medical mycology event Asia Pacific has been waiting for: an assembly of world-leading experts from 18 countries; state-of-the-art updates put into Asia-Pacific context; and an international arena to showcase your research. There will be ample opportunities to interact with highly reputed clinicians and medical mycologists. ISHAM and Young ISHAM members can enjoy special discounted registration rates. Register before May 29, 2020, and you will get an extra US$50 early bird discount! Become a member now or make sure your membership is current before registering.

Deadline: April 15, 2021
Fungal diseases are significant causes of mortality and morbidity in both the developed and the developing world. The recent increases in the incidence and severity of invasive fungal infections are directly attributable to new susceptible patient populations. Examples of these large, at-risk populations include patients with AIDS; hospitalized patients being treated for cancer and autoimmune disorders; andthose receiving organ transplants. Despite this increasing threat, our understanding of the basic pathophysiology of fungal disease lags far behind our understanding of bacterial, parasitic and viral diseases. Furthermore, the number of antifungal therapies in clinical use is limited, and there is a paucity of novel antifungal strategies in the current drug pipeline. To address the need for more research in the area of fungal diseases, this course aims to:

a) increase students’ breadth of knowledge in fungal pathogenesis research

b) introduce and explore both standard and cutting edge model systems for the analysis of fungal virulence

c) create an environment that fosters interactions and idea-exchange among students, faculty, and the greater mycology research community.

Course material is suitable for advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, research faculty, and clinician-scientists.

We are pleased to announce the following event: „55. Wissenschaftliche Tagung der Deutschsprachigen Mykologischen Gesellschaft DMykG “ taking place from 27 to 29 September 2021. For more than year COVID-19 has affected our lives – and also our preparations of this year’s annual meeting. Due to the current situation and uncertainty, an on-site meeting does not seem to be possible this year either. However, we do not want to let go of the scientific exchange, which is so important to all of us! Therefore, we are happy to inform you that we are currently preparing our annual meeting as a digital conference.

It is a great honour and pleasure for us to invite you cordially to participate in the 10th Congress on Trends in Medical Mycology (TIMM-10), which will be held in October 8-11th, 2021 at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom. TIMM-10 is organized by the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM). The TIMM 2021 will mark the 10th anniversary of the TIMM series of meetings and we are looking forward to work together with our colleagues in the British Society of Medical Mycology, represented in the local organizing committee and the members of the scientific organizing committee, to present to you an attractive scientific and social program celebrating this 10th anniversary.
