💻 Student Spotlight 💻 Meet PhD student Naomi Gray, whose research at CCDM uses advanced bioinformatics to uncover how fungal pathogens specialise to infect crops—supporting smarter disease diagnosis and surveillance for growers. @curtinuniversity.bsky.social, #GRDC

Our new effector discovery tool EffectorFisher, a GWAS-alternative which combines pangenome-mined protein-isoform profiles and disease phenotyping, tested on P. nodorum and Z. tritici www.nature.com/articles/s41... @theccdm.bsky.social

Congratulations to Julia Easton & James Hare - now Associate Professors! Julia leads C4AP for farm profitability & sustainability. James builds bioinformatics power to fight crop disease. CCDM is proud to foster talent & advance agriculture! 🌱 @curtinuniversity.bsky.social #GRDC

CCDM made a big impact at MLS Symposium 2025! 🎉 Congrats to our award winners: 🏆 Viet-Cuong Han – Graeme Robertson Award 🎤 Nimllash Thangam & Naomi Gray – Best Oral Presentation 📊 Mohitul Hossain – Best Poster #GRDC, @curtinuniversity.bsky.social

Well done to @theccdm.bsky.social bioinformatics Ph.D. students Mohitul Hossain and Naomi Gray who presented posters at @ismpmi.bsky.social #2025ISMPMI

Congratulations to #theCCDM PhD student Mohitul Hossain, who gave an excellent presentation today in the New Researcher Session at #GRDCUpdates, on our new methods for phenotype-associated effector prediction and pangenome-based effector and fungicide-resistance screening. @theccdm.bsky.social

🌾Pathogens are constantly evolving to outsmart crops! Our team analyzed 173 isolates of the fungus behind Stagonospora nodorum blotch🧬 They found it uses DNA mutations like RIP to diversify—while harmful mutations are filtered out🦠 📰 https://buff.ly/4jXm63B @jameskhane.bsky.social
