Collaboration
We are strongly interested in research collaborations in the following fields:
- Taxonomy and phylogeny of medically relevant fungi
- Diagnosis, surveillance and prevention of mycoses
- Dermatophytes
- Development of new diagnostic or identification methods
- Antifungal resistance
- Allergenic species
Partnerships with industry or academics are envisaged and research can be conducted on a contractual basis or in partnership in publicly funded scientific projects.
