We are recruiting a Research Tech! Funded by the @wellcometrust.bsky.social, join us to work on Mucorales adaption in collaboration with Becky Hall (University of Kent) Deadline: 5th January www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

Exciting news! I have two positions open in my lab at the UoManchester: one PDRA and one Research Tech. Join our team to study evolutionary mycology and help us understand antifungal resistance in fungal pathogens. A fantastic opportunity to join the brilliant Manchester Fungal Infection Group!

We are recruiting two Research Associates! Funded by the @wellcometrust.bsky.social , join us to work on Mucorales adaption in collaboration with Becky Hall (University of Kent) www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... Deadline: 1st October

This paper blew my mind! It can really have massive implications www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Next Tuesday I am giving a @efisg-escmid.bsky.social webinar to explain our proposed definitions for the phenomena of antifungal tolerance and persistence in filamentos fungi, and provide guidelines for their detection and quantification Sign up here if interested👇 us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Well deserved @chownbioinf.bsky.social ! Congratulations!

The Microbiology Society, with the British Mycological Society, is delighted to announce Dr Harry Chown of Imperial College London, UK, as the 2025 Tony Trinci Award winner. Read more here: microb.io/4jUSinB @chownbioinf.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

We have updated our database of funding opportunities for Early-Career Researchers (private foundations, federal, international) We have 456 entries, for which we provide $ amount, deadline, eligibility criteria, etc. Download this massive database here for free: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

I think this is a very important topic, reviewer fatigue How many invitations do your receive per week? For me it's well over ten. New ideas/approaches are needed journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Wow, new antifungal with novel mechanism of action Looks really promising www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Outstanding work! And so many posibiities to use this going forward...

We did it! We caught Starship #transposons moving between #fungal species in the lab, including between species separated by ~100my. We think Starships are a mediator of HGT in fungi, akin to conjugative elements in bacteria. Check out the preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

En route to #asperfest and @ecfg172025.bsky.social Can you believe it's my first time? I'm excited to see old friends and meet new ones. And of course, for five days of outstanding fungal research!

"Fungi made Earth’s land liveable..." Such important organisms... so underestimated! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Antifungal tolerance and persistence are gaining relevance in fungal pathogens. However, the terminology is unclear, particularly for filamentous fungi. In this Perspective we propose tailored definitions and discuss methods for detecting and studying these phenomena journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

I thought many will appreciate here. Mini chocolate mushroom cookie 🤤

We are looking for a postdoc in #EvolutionarySystemsBiology. Exciting science, amazing team, wonderful city! landrylab.ibis.ulaval.ca/research-opp... #evolution #synbio #systemsbiology #genomics

This is certainly a very interesting study. Just the terminology is confusing. I'd say "proliferative or quiescent state" rather than "resistant or tolerant" All is done at []s around the MIC But is is interesting to see the cell capacity to adapt the response! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello All, plz share. Last call for applications for a post-doc position in our lab to study immune function in frogs infected with the fungal pathogen Bd. Deadline is Feb 1, reviews will begin soon after. zamudiolab.org/2024/12/17/p...

The Institut Pasteur launches an international call to recruit new junior research group leaders in the application of cutting-edge transdisciplinary approaches to the exploration of host-microbe, tissue-tissue, or host-environment interactions. research.pasteur.fr/fr/call/call...

I'm proud to present our latest work We used Nanostring technology to study the expression of sulfur-related genes during infection. We identified potential virulence-relevant factors and characterised one of them, validating it as a novel antifungal target www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

How long can I consider myself as a #newPI? A few years have passed by, but I still feel I'm a beginner

Hoy se ha publicado la convocatoria de recursos humanos de la AESI del ISCIII. www.isciii.es/l/1125030 ¿No habrá por ahí algún/a micólogo/a que tenga interés en solicitar una Sara Borrell para unirse a mi grupo? ¡Contactadme si os interesa!
