ISHAM NEWS! (15-9-2017)
Dear , The program of the ISHAM Congress in Amsterdam is taking shape. Almost all conveners have accepted their invitations, and we
will soon start inviting the speakers. Note that for every symposium one
speaker will be selected from the Abstracts, which guarantees that many
established as well as young participants will have the chance to speak before
of an
international audience. The program has 7 parallel sessions, and many plenary
presentations, satellites, Young-ISHAM-day and pre- and post-congress
workshops are planned. Don’t miss this opportunity! |
 One of the plenary speakers will be Axel Brakhage, Director of the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection
Biology in Jena, Germany and the Institute of Microbiology of Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. Prof. Brakhage is responsible for one
of the largest and most important research centers in medical mycology in the
world. His talk at ISHAM Amsterdam will be on interaction of Aspergillus
fumigatus with neutrophilic granulocytes.
|
For two pre-and post-congress workshops preliminary programs
are available, both with excellent speaker panels. A workshop on Onygenales
- Dermatophytes and Systemic Pathogens will be held on 28 and 29 June
2018; see the program here. |
A workshop on Black Yeasts and Allies is
scheduled on 4 and 5 July 2018; you can find the program here. Both workshops
are free of charge, but separate registration is compulsory; websites will be
opened soon.
