UK Scholarship in Medical Mycology
The Fungal Infection Trust has offered to completely subsidise the MSc fees of
one strong UK applicant to the new Medical Mycology MSc to be run in
Manchester over the next academic year.
There are insufficient medical mycologists in the UK for the burgeoning number
of patients, especially those with fungal allergy and chronic infection, on top of
the many thousands who acquire life-threatening mycoses. Vastly improved nonculture diagnostics, human genetic and immunology understanding, and new
antifungal agents on the horizon promise a genuine revolution in care and
prospects for greatly improved outcomes over the coming decades.
