Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Trends in Medical Mycology (TIMM), organized by the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM), is one of the major meetings in the field of clinical mycology, attracting scientists and clinicians from all over the world. Thus, we are excited to once again assemble many of them in the 10th TIMM meeting, to take place in Aberdeen, Scotland, from 8 to 11 October 2021. The TIMM 2021 will mark the 10th anniversary of the TIMM meetings, and we expect to have the opportunity to celebrate it appropriately.
Although the world became a different place in these two past years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these moments of crisis may also present opportunities to evolve and change. In fact, we have never before seen such a tight bond between scientists, clinicians and industry. In this context, fungal infections have gained a higher prominence and were in the spotlight for several occasions, making all of us work even harder to combat the fungal infections associated with COVID-19 patients. As such, TIMM-10 will of course cover fungal/viral coinfections, but also, and as always, all the other aspects of mycology, as diagnostics, ecology, emerging pathogens, epidemiology antifungals, endemic mycosis, host defence, molecular and cellular mycology, and new antifungal agents, among others.
All TIMM meetings are characterized by the high-quality level of their presentations. Hence, we are pleased to announce the publication of a Conference Supplement, including original manuscripts from abstract presenters and invited speakers, in the Journal of Fungi. Several Guest Editors with different expertise will be leading the 10th such Supplement.
We are very excited to promote this issue and we look forward to your participation!
