Mycology
Specialized fungal science for an evolving and underestimated threat.
Fungal disease causes millions of deaths worldwide yet remains underrecognized, and drug-resistant organisms and expanding endemic ranges are raising the stakes. We bring discipline-specific mycology expertise to federal laboratory programs and research applications.
What we provide
Fungal identification and characterization
Classical culture methods combined with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, microscopy, PCR, Sanger sequencing, and next-generation sequencing for yeasts, molds, and dimorphic fungi across clinical and environmental specimens.
Antifungal susceptibility testing and resistance
Standardized susceptibility testing and molecular characterization of resistance mechanisms in high-priority organisms, supporting AMR surveillance programs.
Emerging pathogens and high-consequence fungal disease
Surveillance, characterization, and outbreak response for emerging fungal threats, drawing on current knowledge of diagnostics, resistance profiles, and epidemiology.
Surveillance and global fungal health programs
Domestic and international surveillance, diagnostic methods suited to resource-limited settings, and support for screen-and-treat programs for serious opportunistic infections.
Fungal outbreak investigation and response
Rapid identification, molecular typing for epidemiologic linkage, and environmental sampling to identify sources of healthcare-associated and community outbreaks.
