About Us
We are a team of young and enthusiastic professionals who wish to provide diagnostic, training, research facilities and clinical advise to all the doctors, microbiologists of the eastern part of India. To this end we will help you in identification and anti-fungal susceptibility of clinical fungi, provide testing for fungal biomarkers, molecular testing and management of fungal infections. A repository of clinical isolates of fungi will be maintained which would be made accessible to researchers. We will also collaborate with researchers who are working on epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of fungal infections.
