The conference examines fungal biology through genetics, genomics and other molecular approaches. Sessions connect genome regulation and epigenetics with development, metabolism, stress responses and signalling. Fungal interactions as pathogens or symbionts, secondary metabolites, antifungal compounds and biotechnology are also included. The programme brings academic and industrial researchers together and considers how AI and new experimental tools can expand fungal research.

This symposium compares mechanisms of drug resistance, tolerance and persistence in bacteria, fungi and cancer. It explores how genetic change, non-genetic cellular plasticity, biochemistry and metabolism combine to let cells survive treatment. Themes include evolution under drug pressure, genome plasticity, stress responses, cellular fitness and the ecological context of drug responses. Efflux, microenvironmental effects and other extracellular contributors are considered alongside cellular states and biochemical mechanisms. By comparing systems across species, the programme aims to deepen understanding of clonal evolution and single-cell biology and inform strategies for tackling drug resilience.
