Fungal Infection Trust

Fungal Infection Trust is a UK-based charitable company focused on fungal diseases rather than a commercial drug-development biotech. It was incorporated in April 2012 as the successor to the earlier Fungal Research Trust, which dates to 1991. The organization supports education, patient information, advocacy, and research funding in mycology and fungal disease, with particular visibility in aspergillosis. Its activities include grant making, public and physician education, and support for improved diagnosis and treatment of fungal illness. FIT appears to operate as an active nonprofit health organization rather than a therapeutics developer, so it does not have a conventional clinical pipeline.
