Border crossings and connections.

From 30 September 2023 to 7 January 2024, the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm presented the show Fungi-In Art and Science. For the exhibition, an alliance of scientists, artists, and designers was brought together that overcame all the alleged borders between the disciplines, between the scientific and the creative world. This special exhibition is the starting point to take on a tour where it is about crossing borders and growing connections when working with fungi.

Vita activa in biotechnology: what we do with fungi and what fungi do with us.

Filamentous fungi are fascinating microorganisms. One of the reasons why it is so worthwhile to take a closer look at them is their capacity to produce secondary metabolites. Some of these substances have the potential to be of great use for mankind, such as it was the case with penicillin and its discovery in 1928.
