President-elect
Neil Gow is a member of the Aberdeen Fungal Group that constitutes one of the largest academic centres for basic research in medical mycology in the world. He has specific interests in the molecular genetics of cell wall biosynthesis in fungi and the directional growth responses of fungal cells as well as the virulence properties of medically important fungal species. In recent years he has focussed mainly on the genetics of glycosylation and the fungus-host interaction, and on chitin synthesis and hyphal orientation responses. He is currently editor in chief of Fungal Genetics and Biology.
