At the 37th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Clinical Microbiology, held from February 13th (Fri) to 15th (Sun), 2026, at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall (Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture), Dr. Shun Tamura, a postdoctoral researcher Teikyo University Institute of Medical Mycology, was selected for the Outstanding Presentation Award.
