‪@neil-gow.bsky.social and Elaine Bignell investigating the impact of antifungal drugs on the immune response to Candida (He/Him)
I had a great time getting to present my work on the impact of Manogepix on antifungal immunity at Candida and Candidiasis yesterday! Some really great discussions at my poster! #Candida2025

Last @mrccmm.bsky.social talk of the day from talented PhD candidate @harry-osborne.bsky.social about how cell wall targeting antifungals impact immune recognition to C. albicans.

A little holiday news:

Evolution of antifungal resistance in the environment www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This started out as a little thought way back in early 2024 between @normanvanrhijn.bsky.social and I, and turned into a full on review! We hope it proves useful to the community.
Evolution of antifungal resistance in the environment - Nature Microbiology
This Review discusses the evolution, emergence and expansion of environmental fungicide and antifungal drug resistance.

Abby Potton is studying morphological heterogeneity of Cryptococcus neoformans in my lab. This image shows the full range of cell sizes, from large polyploid titan cells, to yeast, to the small but mighty titanide, all important for how this fungus causes disease.

A great week at #BMS2025 with some fantastic mycological research going on! Really enjoyed getting to present my poster on how manogepix alters Candida albicans immune recognition! Some great representation from @mrccmm.bsky.social, and loved getting to meet so many great people!
