Research Fellow at IMS, University of Aberdeen. Working on transcriptional regulation of drug transporters in yeast and fungi.
Excited to announce publication of research from my Daphne Jackson career re-entry fellowship.
Here we identify the Gat201 pathway as an alkaline-responsive regulator of proliferation governing an environmental trafe off between proliferation and defensive capsule production.

A wee Christmas gift from @childerslab.bsky.social with Dr Jane Usher (University of Exeter)... grab a coffee and mince pie and consider "Is metabolic generalism the Breakfast of Champions for pathogenic Candida species?"

As a member of the 'Non-linear career path club' I really appreciated this article and hope those with the purse strings take note. A career is more than a string of accomplishments. Life skills are highly underrated.
