Dear CanFunNet community, we are happy to announce the release of our official program booklet! You can check it out here: drive.google.com/file/d/1iEEu.... Registration is also still open!!!

Only three days to register and submit an abstract! We look forward to seeing you all at our low-cost virtual meeting! #CFN26

Meet Joey Tanney, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Tanney's research explores how fungal biodiversity shapes the health and resilience of Canadian forests by integrating systematics, genomics, and ecology to tackle challenges in the sustainable management of forests. Register today for #CFN26!

Meet Aleeza Gerstein, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Gerstein's research applies evolutionary principles and statistical methods to understand the evolution of human fungal pathogens in the context of drug resistance and chronic infection. Register today for #CFN26 to hear more from Dr. Gerstein.

Meet Michael Pyne, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Pyne's research aims to discover, produce, and engineer plant natural product pathways in microbial systems, combining synthetic biology with classical retrosynthesis to design novel routes to pharmaceutical scaffolds. Register for #CFN26 today!

Meet Xin Li, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Li's research aims to understand basic developmental and virulence processes in plant necrotrophic fungal pathogens and the responding molecular mechanisms of plant immunity. Register today for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr. Li. @ubcbotany.bsky.social

Meet Pierre-Luc Chagnon, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Chagnon's research aims to characterize soil microbial community responses to agricultural practices and examine the link between microbial traits and soil organic matter stabilization. Register today for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr. Chagnon.

Meet Steve Hallam, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Hallam's research is on creation of functional screens and computational tools that reveal hidden metabolic powers of uncultivated microbial communities to support biotechnology innovation. Register today for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr. Hallam.

Meet Jan Van Kan, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Van Kan's research focuses on necrotrophic fungal pathogens of plants investigating molecular mechanisms of infection, and the development of strategies to combat plant diseases. Register today for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr. Van Kan.

Meet Vasilis Kokkoris, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Kokkoris' research focuses on understanding the evolutionary significance of the unique arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal cell function by investigating cellular dynamics across scales. Register today for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr. Kokkoris.

Meet Nancy Keller, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Keller's research focuses on the discovery of secondary metabolite synthases and their chemical products and the intrinsic development of antifungal resistance in Aspergillus pathogens. Register today for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr. Keller.
