A Network of Excellence bringing together researchers at Imperial and beyond to tackle global challenges in fungal science.

The Fungal Science Network will serve as a hub for the mycology community within Imperial and beyond, facilitating multidisciplinary collaborations among researchers to address global challenges. In parallel, it will provide a leadership, advocacy and communications platform for mycologists and a developmental framework for future leaders in fungal research. 

The Fungal Science Network brings together over 20 principal investigators and their laboratories across the Faculties of Medicine, Natural Sciences and Engineering, whose research focuses on and transcends the core themes of fungal biotechnology and engineering, pathogenesis of fungal infectious diseases, and fungal ecology, evolution and the environment.
