Who are we

We are a multidisciplinary group of dedicated scientists, physicians and administrative staff who have made it our mission to continuously maintain and expand FungiScope® — Global Registry for Fungal Infections. We establish contact with new, interested partners and take care of our already established network. We ensure the quality of the documented cases, evaluate the data together with our partners and accompany the general process until publication. Please feel free to contact our scientific lead danila.seidel[at]uk-koeln.de, project management natalia.vasenda[at]uk-koeln.de or data management andrea.will[at]uk-koeln.de for further details.
