Resistance to antifungal medications is growing. Now, #UofG researchers have developed a faster way to identify the genetic vulnerabilities of Candida fungi, which could lead to brand new treatments. @uofgcbs.bsky.social @uofgresearch.bsky.social uoguel.ph/vze5i

New preprint alert! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... from my lab and Evan Snitkin's lab Defining the Candidozyma auris pan-genome and essentiality

📣 New preprint on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social: Bacteria rewire fungal antimicrobial gene expression in microbial arms races www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... This work, led by outstanding @jinyi-zhu.bsky.social, shows that bacteria suppress fungal antimicrobial protein expression to evade antagonism

Out Now! Pooled CRISPRi screening reveals fungal-specific drug target candidates #MicroSky

It's been a long time coming to finally see this in print! While not the first paper from my lab, it is one of the very first projects we started working on from day 1 links.springernature.com/f/a/1IP7gCfA...

It's Mycology Monday! 🍄 Which reminds me! CanFunNet registration is now open: canfunnet.conferences.uwo.ca/registration If you study fungi, this broad fungal conference is a great one to attend (or present at).

Antifungal resistance isn’t just about one gene.🧬 Researchers led by PhD student Nick Gervais & @shapirorebecca.bsky.social have developed a new CRISPR tool that can control multiple genes at once in fungal pathogens. SCRIBE🗞️: www.uoguelph.ca/cbs/news/202... @uofgresearch.bsky.social

PIs/group leaders, what was the most important aspect of the first paper your lab published 1️⃣ Establishing the lab's identity 2️⃣ Communicating an important discovery 3️⃣ Completing a project started as a postdoc 4️⃣ Other 📊 Show results

Today is the last day to register for SynBio7.0! Will we see you there?

Today is the last day to register for SynBio7.0 in Toronto! www.eventbrite.ca/e/synbio-70-... The phenomenal lineup of speakers is now available on the website (synbio7.vercel.app#schedule). I hope you can join us!

We're looking forward to attending the upcoming SynBio7.0 conference in Toronto!
