The Cellular and Molecular Fungal Biology Conference provides a forum for presentation of the latest advances in fungal research with a particular emphasis on filamentous and pathogenic fungi. The Conference brings together the leading scientists from academia and industry to discuss current research in such areas as cellular and developmental biology, signalling and gene regulation, secondary metabolism, cell surface and adhesion, invasion, population structure and ecology, and genomic analysis. The Holderness School, situated in the New Hampshire Lakes Region adjacent to the White Mountains, encourages scientific interaction and also provides diverse recreational opportunities.
