THE UAMH CENTRE FOR GLOBAL MICROFUNGAL BIODIVERSITY
is a premier repository of biomedically and environmentally important fungi and bacteria, including emerging pathogens, opportunists, allergenic and toxigenic species. The public biobank comprises nearly 12,000 living biospecimens representing over 3,200 species. It is the largest and most important research archive of public health-relevant microfungi in the western hemisphere and one of only two top-level biobanks of these organisms in the world. The majority of the strains are uniquely held in UAMH and not replicated elsewhere. The UAMH microbial biobank is affiliated with the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto.
