Say It Ain’t Mold: A Dialogue About the Fascinations, Frustrations, and Future of Fungi
Description

What are the existing “unknowns” in our clinical approach when fungus appears in respiratory cultures? How is current research addressing these questions? Where is the future of fungal research headed? We’ll address these questions and more in an open conversation with researchers and community members. Submit your questions and join us for this interactive session, in which we will demystify the most common misconceptions about the role of fungus in CF, acknowledge fears and address concerns associated with fungal infections, and discuss the present and future research addressing Aspergillus fumigatus and other fungi in CF. This session is for everyone, including people with CF who have questions about fungal infections and those who just want to learn more. Attendees are encouraged to watch Dr. Gina Hong’s presentation from the webinar Research Overview: Infections prior to this session, especially if they are less familiar with the topic of fungal infections in CF.
