Get global visibility

The Fungal Genetics Conference is one of the premier fungal conferences which, in 2019, attracted attendees from 34 countries and 43 states. In 2022, the meeting will be offered in a hybrid format. Participate in #Fungal22 to reunite with 750 researchers at the in-person conference at Asilomar Conference Grounds while also having access to approximately 300 remote attendees.

• Biochemistry and metabolism
• Biotechnology
• Cell biology and development
• Comparative and functional genomics
• Fungal diversity
• Gene regulation
• Pathogenic and mutualistic interactions
• Population and evolutionary genetics
