Exciting new project in our lab @babrahaminst.bsky.social! We are working with @alesdantas.bsky.social at @newcastleuni.bsky.social to understand how extrachromosomal circular DNA mediates drug resistance in fungal pathogens Funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social #ecDNA #eccDNA #Candida #Zymoseptoria

Last Sept, @wellcometrust.bsky.social hosted #microbiome experts, exploring the field's vast landscape—from diversity & ethics to disease, immunology & mental health. We've distilled these rich discussions into a report. Excited to share our insights! 📄👉 wellcomeopenresearch.org/documents/10...

I'm thrilled to finally share that @wellcometrust.bsky.social funding @cultivarium.bsky.social to expand their portal an include more #fungi & #archaea. Already a go-to for bacteria research, as a hub to find info on how to grow and manipulate microbes. (1/2) blog.cultivarium.org/p/fungi-and-...

Filaments of the Future

Over the next three years, Cultivarium will weave fungi and archaea into the fabric of a healthier, cleaner, and more resilient world.

Sequencing databases are vital to interpreting genomes, but come at a cost and requires community support. Recently, FungalDB and VeuPathDB have moved to subscription services. If you use these resources, please explore the changes and consider joining the community effort to sustain them.

Historically, genetic research has focused on specific populations, but by addressing these gaps, we can create benefits for everyone. By embracing our differences, we can turn them into strengths. Watch @wellcometrust.bsky.social's explainer video for more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DS0...

Fungi play a crucial role in ecosystems with extraordinary adaptability. Their benefits are immense, but also includes risk. @wellcometrust.bsky.social, we're concerned about the implications for human health in the face of climate change and emerging pathogens wellcome.org/news/will-cl...

Fungi can keep us healthy or cause disease. As climate change drives fungi to adapt, learn how we can harness the benefits and tackle the threats.

Antifungal resistance is an important part of antimicrobial resistance. But there are many fungal pathogens we don’t know anything about. Could bioimaging be part of the solution? Learn more from Dr Elizabeth Ballou @exeter.ac.uk in 'Behind the Research' ⤵️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/can-bi...

Can bioimaging build capacity in fungi research?

This month's guest expert is Dr Elizabeth Ballou, Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the University of Exeter. Fungi are beautiful and very charismatic.
