Incredible how fungi can evolve! In our latest manuscript, we describe an intriguing case of hyper-MDR in C. glabrata and highlight the therapeutic potential of collateral sensitivity and nitroxoline for such therapeutic dead ends! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Survival of the unfittest: clinical emergence of hyper-multidrug-resistant Nakaseomyces glabratus with rare nonfunctional Erg3 and Erg11 and severely impaired fitness.
Background : Nakaseomyces glabratus (Candida gabrata) poses a significant clinical challenge due to common drug resistance. We report a case of a complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) progressing ...

Extremely validating. I’ll never complain about C. albicans again after working with CRISPR in C. auris

When I started my PhD 6 years ago, this sticker on my office door got me excited. Sure! let's "CRISPR Candida auris"! Today I am excited to show that that's not as easy as it sounds! 😉 Read our latest preprint on the challenges with editing C. auris: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thrilled to announce I was awarded an EMBO postdoctoral fellowship to join the lab of @christianlandry.bsky.social @ @universitelaval.bsky.social next April! Exciting science across the pond ahead! #EMBOFellows

My first paper as senior author is out! Lots of new ideas for experimental evolution studies with fungi, and again, a nice collaboration with Giorgio Boccarella and Piet van den Berg.
