Final HDM-FUN meeting

The event brought together pre-clinical and clinical experts to share new findings, discuss future priorities, and strengthen collaborations in fungal immunotherapy. The newly established IISFD ( https://iisfd.org/) aims to advance innovative immunotherapeutic approaches, promote knowledge exchange, and support collaborative research in fungal diseases. Its launch represents a lasting legacy of HDM-FUN and the beginning of a growing international community committed to improving outcomes for patients with severe fungal infections.
