Management Structure
The Director, Professor Gordon Brown has responsibility for the strategic direction and development of the MRC CMM, in consultation with the International Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB), Management Board (MB) and other centre principal investigators.
The Director is supported by three Deputy Directors (Professor Elaine Bignell [research], Professor Alistair Brown [training and technology development] and Professor Adilia Warris [clinical]), plus a Research Centre Manager (Dr Alberto Muñoz).
The ISAB is comprised of national and international experts in medical mycology, including an MRC representative. The ISAB provides the MB with objective, independent advice on our development, scientific strategy and research, training and translational activities. The ISAB receives minutes of all MB meetings, evaluates annual reports and undertakes formal Centre reviews (Years 2 and 4).
ISAB members:

| University College Dublin | Professor Geraldine Butler (Chair) |
| Tel Aviv University | Professor Judith Berman |

The MB is an integral and essential part of our governing structure, and an important component of University oversight of activities within the Centre. The MB meets three times a year to advise on strategy, scientific direction, training and progress. The MB will help oversee the research and training programmes, allocation of funding, students and fellows to cross-disciplinary projects as well as the commercialisation, translation and outreach activities. One current MRC CMM student is invited to attend these meetings, and is rotating between meetings.”
