The International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS) is a unique scientific meeting created in Brazil in 2014 to bring together researchers studying how fungi respond to environmental challenges. Conceived, organized, and financially sustained by Drauzio Eduardo Naretto Rangel and Alene Alder-Rangel, ISFUS has become a key gathering for scientists and industry experts dedicated to understanding the multifaceted challenges fungi face in response to environmental stressors. With fungi playing critical roles across environmental ecosystems, agriculture, medicine, and industry, the insights gathered at ISFUS are instrumental for advancing knowledge on fungal resilience mechanisms, stress adaptation, and mitigation strategies. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, ISFUS enables participants to push the boundaries of fungal research, providing essential knowledge that addresses the demands of both fundamental and applied sciences.
Since its debut, ISFUS has grown into a highly regarded international forum, uniting experts from around the world to share advances in medical, agricultural, industrial, and ecological mycology. Over its five editions, the Symposium has hosted leading scientists from more than two dozen countries, published special issues in Current Genetics and Fungal Biology, and fostered collaborations that continue to drive progress in fungal stress research.
Beyond its scientific program, ISFUS is known for its welcoming and collaborative atmosphere, offering both established and early-career researchers an inspiring space to exchange ideas, build networks, and explore how fungal resilience impacts health, agriculture, biotechnology, and the environment.
