In this presentation, "Antifungal Resistance in Asia: Mechanisms, Epidemiology, and Consequences", Professor Yee-Chun Chen gives an overview of the burden of antifungal resistance in the region, possible mechanisms of resistance, and limitations of published data. In Asia, susceptibility varies by fungal pathogen and by country/hospital; surveillance data are needed to guide local practice.

She is also an investigator of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, National Health Research Institutes of Taiwan.
