Research
As a global leader in medical mycology, the MRC CMM tackles critical gaps in understanding and healthcare strategies for fungal infections. Our mission is to lead world-class research and training, equipping the next generation of scientists and clinicians with the knowledge and skills to address fungal diseases. To achieve these ambitious goals, we have focussed our activities into five interdisciplinary research themes.
Our research themes
Our expertise and flagship technologies
- Antifungal Drug Discovery
- Microscopy/Imaging
- Pre-Clinical Modelling
- Host-pathogen interactions
- Fungal immunology
- Fungal Biology
- Clinical Trials
Leader in Mycology Bioimaging
Global leader in using bioimaging to study fungal infections and develop new treatments.
Leader in Mycology Bioimaging
The MRC Centre for Medical Mycology is a global leader in fungal infection biology imaging, using live-cell microscopy to gain new insights into fungal growth, adaptation, pathogenesis and responses to antifungal drugs at super resolution and whole organ scales. The Centre offers advanced training and access to state-of-the-art bespoke confocal and widefield microscopes and bespoke fungal pathogen image analysis tools.
