What is GAIN?

GAIN stands for Gilead Antifungal Information Network.

It is a UK & Ireland fungal meeting initiative on the management of Invasive Fungal Disease (IFD) that is delivered collaboratively by experts in Medical Mycology and the Medical Affairs Team at Gilead Sciences Ltd. GAIN provides an interdisciplinary programme of plenary sessions, debates, case studies and workshops relevant to healthcare professionals (HCPs), researchers and academics working in the UK & Ireland who are involved in the diagnosis and management of IFD.

Legacy, history and how it came about

The GAIN educational initiative was founded in 2014 to provide high level education on the diagnosis and management of invasive fungal disease to healthcare professionals, researchers and academics in the UK & Ireland. It was initially focused on antifungals and safety parameters but has grown to incorporate critical care, haematology and antifungal stewardship. Over the past 10 years, GAIN has hosted e-learning programmes, virtual webinars as well as face-to-face meetings. This year, we are excited to return in person with a one-day face-to-face meeting in June 2023.
