The only regional hands-on medical mycology training meeting is back!

The MMTN Conference is organized by the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) Asia Fungal Working Group (AFWG). This year’s Regional MMTN marks the AFWG’s first physical event since the COVID-19 pandemic, and is set to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 4 – 6, 2023 at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel.

As we resume onsite meetings, the AFWG seeks to engage the younger practitioners (in both the lab and clinic) in Asia.

Combining laboratory-based and clinical sessions, this weekend workshop is a unique opportunity for all those managing and working with invasive fungal infections. With sessions tailored to microbiologists, and clinical and laboratory professionals of all levels, this is an event not to be missed!

The program covers “foundational” elements on the first day; the sessions will then cover more state-of-the-art lectures for those seeking more advanced techniques and analysis on the second day – the plenary day. True to our goal to enhance collaboration and understanding between clinic and lab, the third day will be dedicated to collaboration – with discussions around stewardship and a focus on case-based learning from both perspectives.

Join our faculty of international experts and your peers to discuss and explore the challenges and latest developments in the ever-evolving practice of medical mycology in Asia and beyond.
