The identification of the first fungal drug efflux protein Cdr1 by our team changed the whole gamut of antifungal research and led to fascinating discoveries pertaining to mechanisms of antifungal resistance. In 2014, we celebrated 20 years of its discovery by organizing an international meeting which attracted global leaders within the yeast community. Very soon, we are about to witness 30 years of its discovery in 2024. The next Cdr1 meeting promises to be bigger and better than before by providing a unique opportunity to connect with experts and peers in your field, learn about the latest advancements in yeast and antifungal research, and explore new opportunities for collaboration and innovation. Whether you're an established researcher or just starting out in your field, you'll find plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and network with colleagues from around the world. In addition to the exciting lineup of presentations, the Cdr1 meeting will also offer a range of other activities and events, including poster sessions, tours, etc. The meeting will be held at the Savoy suites Manesar which is very near to Amity University campus in Manesar.

Not to forget the exquisite Indian delicacies!!!. We look forward to seeing you in India.

Register and join us for what promises to be an unforgettable experience.
