University of California, Berkeley - Fungal Biology

The University of California, Berkeley’s Fungal Biology program focuses on the study of fungi, which are a diverse group of organisms including molds, yeasts, and mushrooms. Researchers explore their roles in ecosystems, their interactions with plants and animals, and their potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry. The program combines genetics, ecology, and molecular biology to understand fungal biology, their evolution, and their impact on the environment and human health. This multidisciplinary approach advances scientific knowledge and develops innovative solutions related to fungi’s biological functions and uses.
