Collaborators regularly working with the scientist have included Johanna Rhodes, Thomas R. Sewell, Darius Armstrong-James, Jennifer Shelton, and Michael Bromley.

Recent papers authored by Matthew C. Fisher cover significant topics within fungal biology and infectious diseases:

  • Tackling the emerging threat of antifungal resistance to human health (2022, Nature Reviews Microbiology)
  • Threats Posed by the Fungal Kingdom to Humans, Wildlife, and Agriculture (2020, mBio)
  • Chytrid fungi and global amphibian declines (2020, Nature Reviews Microbiology)
  • The WHO fungal priority pathogens list as a game-changer (2023, Nature Reviews Microbiology)

The scientist has also contributed to understanding population genomics related to drug-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus, a fungal infection directly impacting humans through environmental sources.

Matthew C. Fisher's published book titled How To Create Societies for Human Wellbeing was released in 2024 by Policy Press.
