Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fungi constitute an important proportion of marine microbiota. Marine fungi are a renewable and outstanding source for new bioactive natural products that can contribute significantly to the well-being of the society. However, their potential in many areas has largely remained untapped.
The Marine Natural Products Team, which is part of the Institute of Chemistry of Nice at the University Côte d’Azur (France), cordially invites you to the 3rd International Conference of the Marine Fungal Natural Products (MaFNaP) that will be held in Nice (France) from 15-17 June 2020. This event will gather an international audience to discuss new developments and approaches within the field, enhance awareness on marine fungi as a sustainable resource for blue biotechnology, and highlight the potential of marine fungal metabolites in various areas. It also serves as a forum for networking and the promotion of young scientists working in the field.
The initiative for a systematic work on marine fungi and MaFNaPs stems from the meeting of scientists in Prince Edward Island, Canada, that was followed by the official establishment of the MaFNaP Consortium in 2014. The very first MaFNaP conference was held in 2015 and hosted by the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Nantes (France). The first Marine Drugs Special Issue, comprising selected papers from this conference, are available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs/special_issues/fungal-consortium. The 2nd MaFNaP_2017 conference in Kiel (Germany) has stimulated scientific interactions, networking, and collaborations for innovative research to reveal the real capacity of marine fungi. The second Marine Drugs Special Issue, comprising selected papers from this conference, are available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs/special_issues/fungal-consortium-2017.
MaFNaP conferences are dedicated to bringing the marine fungal research community together. On behalf of the MaFNaP consortium and the scientific committee of the MaFNaP_2020 conference, we kindly invite submissions in these topics, plus any topics related to marine fungal natural products.
