"With this tremendous increase of new knowledge
now available, the ability to digest this volume of information
and knowledge continues to challenge the qualifications of fungal
mold mycologist at every level. This has now become more demanding
in time, study and research than ever before. Typically 30-60
hours or more of study goes into every week.
STATE OF MEDICAL MYCOLOGY
EDUCATION
There are a handful of excellent academic
centers that offer training in mycology in North America
(Duke, U. Toronto, U. Oregon, U. Wisconsin...a few) and
a few more so in the Europe. Most notable for fugal taxonomy
and phylogeny is the Dutch Centraalbureau
voor Schimmelcultures that also offers advanced studies
in mycology in select areas.
Much of the formal academic training, with the
exception of schools associated with clinics , provided by these
institutions is academic, mostly esoteric and abstract, limited
in scope and breadth with an occasional focus course for
clinicians and specialty application to mycoses. Much of
the study has very little immediate relevance to
none other than professional field specific data collection
and meaningful only to those involved in advanced and
post doctoral research with rare exceptions. Medical schools
typically only require a 2 or 3 credit hour course in mycology
that just barely covers the basics. We expected that to be changing
in 2000 with complementary fungal DNA research and sequence
analysis. But we were later in for a surprise and puzzled" :
Recent study (Dec 2003-abstract) reports less training
now than before in medical mycology - Steinbach
"It is now more than ever before incumbent
on any committed medical mycological researcher to stay current
the latest research while recognizing some of the most important
research already been in the past 120 years must also revisited
(note: Fibiger) in light of more recent
discoveries. I am happy to say that a number of our studies
and research projects either planned or that were underway have
been canceled because we have found the studies have already
been completed by researchers in other parts of the world, especially
in the Netherlands, France, Germany,Israel
and Japan." (Our mycologist is fluent or /and conversant
in these languages)
"Only with diligent research can any toxic mold
investigator obtain a proficient level of knowledge to address
the most complex issues associated with toxic mold" There are
no schools or programs to be found anywhere that can adequately
meet this academic demand. Mycological Institute for the
Study of Fungal Mold in Human Habitations (founded 2000)
has developed a curriculum and course that exceeds all current
training available for fungal mold mycologists in human habitations
anywhere at this time."
"We, the molecular biologists,
are truly privileged with the knowledge revealed to us in
the course of our research and study. It now clear that the
origin of all relevant fungal pathological activity is at the
molecular level. In the coming years as each nucleotide
sequence (and subsequence) is identified as to their specific
role in Life, expression, transcription and synthesis one more
secret is revealed."
Many of the diseases afflicting humans today such
as cancer, asthma, chronic sinusitis and rhinitis, endometriosis,
Chron's disease, allergies, diabetes, lymphomas, diseases of the eye, hypo/hyper-thyroidism
and others with unclaimed etiology are either directly or indirectly
due to mold fungal mold mycosis, mold infections,
or fungal mold metabolic toxins. Many mycotoxins and mycometabolites
are anti-antibody impairing the immune system.
Do not fail to obtain "Fungalbionics"
if you are a scientist in a related area.
Our medical mycologist's training includes degrees
in the computer sciences and law along with numerous certifications.
He has been a lifelong systems analyst, researcher in mycology
and law. He is a never-ending and tireless student committed
to furthering the frontiers of knowledge in this area of the
life sciences. His broad research experience in medical mycology in
applications to human habitations and related investigations aids in the development
of solutions in this area of science.
His most recent exciting discovery was the genetic
sequence that permits fungal dimorphism (rare phenomena)
had been discovered. He goes on to say that that the fungal
dimorphic phenomena was one of his lifelong pursuits of mycological
mystery not understood since first observed by scientists
well over a century ago. It has been
finally solved .
The professor is the founder (1999), director and
principal scientist for all current scientific research programs
and studies at the institute in North America at njmycological.ath.cx
Current research projects (2002-2008) in progress:
Fungal Mycotoxins as Causative
Factor of Apoptosis in Pancreatic ß cells
Efficacy Testing of Remediation
and Abatement Technologies
Mycological Insect Cadaver Contaminants
Yeasts and Mycoplasma
Molecular Pathogenesis in Clinical Microbiology and
Epidemiology
Our mycologist welcomes questions
form any scientist regarding the edge of the frontier of this
science:
