poster sessions
the poster sessions showcased the diversity of research within the candida community. our delegates were able to share their work, and discuss and exchange ideas with one another, giving plenty of opportunities for early career researchers to present their work too!

during the conference dinner, the candida community paid tribute to frank c. odds. he was a mycologist and studied candida albicans, establishing how modern researchers study fungal pathogens and the diseases they cause.
