ABOUT MASMC 

The Mid-Atlantic States Mycology Conference is a regional scientific meeting bringing together mycologists from the greater Mid-Atlantic Region. MASMC 2024 will be the 45^th MASMC.

MASMC began in 1979 with participating mycology labs from Virginia Tech, University of Maryland, Howard University, and Towson State University. Each spring, MASMC provides an opportunity to present latest research findings in fungi-related research, meet new and old colleagues, and develop and strengthen scientific collaborations. MASMC provides undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs a unique opportunity to present their mycological research findings in a less formal venue than at a national or international scientific meeting.

This year’s Middle Atlantic States Mycology Conference (MASMC 2024) is being hosted by your friends at Duke University, Durham NC.   Since 1979, mycologists up and down the eastern seaboard have convened at each other’s institutions every spring to discuss their latest research findings, share a meal, memories and meet new friends. The meetings are informal, providing students and postdocs the opportunity to present their research findings in a less formal venue than other meetings during the rest of the year.

Though loosely affiliated with the Mycological Society of America (MSAfungi.org), MASMC is open to both academic and citizen-scientists interested in all areas of academic and applied mycology.    Participants are invited to present brief oral and poster  presentations on their current research. especially encourage presentations by early career scientists.   An ample time period is also planned for poster presentations during the lunch mixer.

Thanks to a grant from Dr. Jennifer Lodge (Duke University Vice President for Research and Innovation), this year’s MASMC is FREE!!  Please, just come! And tell your colleagues to come to MASMC!

Instructions for registration, abstract submission, and foray details will be posted at this site.  Abstracts and posters will be accepted until April 10.  Please bookmark this page for further information.
