About

The only regional meeting focusing on fungal and parasitic infections, MNID is an excellent opportunity for the Midwest mycology and parasitology community to meet in a relatively small group and learn from each other, fostering collaboration, highlighting emerging science, and building community around a set of diseases that remain under-resourced despite their global impact. For questions about the meeting, please reach out to the organizers at mnidmeeting[at]gmail.com.
