Experiences at the University

The Center provides the right platform for students who want to become trained experts in mycology.  I myself started with basic knowledge in this field but have now progressed extensively with the guidance of my advisors, supervisors, seniors and friends. The research process becomes very smooth with the Center’s available equipments. I am motivated to conduct more research and learn more about fungal diversity and evolution. Overall, i am ready for challenges and will thrive to contribute to the mycological field.
