ISHAM, an independent and non-political society, is dedicated to promoting the study and practice of medical and veterinary mycology. Established in 1954 with 150 members, it has grown to represent over 900 professionals globally. Committed to inclusivity, ISHAM strives to make recent mycological developments accessible to all, particularly supporting young mycologists and professionals in developing countries. The membership of ISHAM comprises individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds, including clinicians, veterinarians, biochemists, molecular biologists, immunologists, botanists, pathologists and laboratory technologists. It’s activities are governed by an elected Council, comprised of President, President-Elect, General Secretary, Treasurer and five Vice Presidents. The Chief Editors of the Society’s journals are also council members.
Young ISHAM advocates for the interests of young and early-career professionals in basic and clinical medical mycology. This community of young mycologists empowers members, enhances training, and fosters an international network, providing support for those at the early stages of their careers. Young ISHAM activities are supported and under the umbrella of the ISHAM Council which strongly supports young mycologists in their research and career.
