About

David Denning is a leading authority in the field of medical mycology, with a career dedicated to understanding and combating life-threatening fungal infections. His seminal work has fundamentally shaped the global response to diseases such as aspergillosis, candidiasis, and cryptococcosis. Denning is perhaps best known for his groundbreaking research on chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), where he not only defined the disease but also established its global burden, demonstrating that it affects millions of people annually. His contributions include pioneering diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols that have become the standard of care worldwide. With over 600 publications and more than 50,000 citations, his impact is immense. Notably, he founded the National Aspergillosis Centre in the UK, the world’s leading referral center for the disease, and has been instrumental in raising awareness of antifungal resistance. Denning’s work has saved countless lives and continues to inspire a new generation of researchers tackling neglected tropical diseases and fungal infections.
