What are the ISHAM Working Groups?

ISHAM provides support to setup dedicated working groups that focus on a specific fungal pathogen and to provide a platform where specialists can interact with each other to improve the knowledge, diagnostics, and treatment of a fungal pathogen. If you would like to become a member of an ISHAM working group, email the convenor of the relevant working group and ask them to add your name to the list of members – it’s as simple as that!
