European Conference on Fungal Genetics also referred as "ECFG" commonly refers to the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) and the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Fungal Infection Study Group (EFISG).
The ECFG conference typically focuses on medical mycology, including the study of fungal infections, antifungal treatments, and related topics. The conference may bring together scientists, researchers, clinicians, and professionals interested in the field of medical mycology.
Fungal genetics is a specialized field of genetics that focuses on the study of the genetics of fungi. Fungi are a diverse group of organisms that include yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. They play crucial roles in various ecological processes, such as decomposition and nutrient cycling, and they have significant impacts on human activities, ranging from food production to medicine.
