📝 NEW PREPRINT It’s with an immense joy that our preprint is finally out and it’s my first first co-author paper!!! 🧬🍄 What is the diversity of 3D genome architectures in fungi? We reconstructed the 3D genome architecture of public Hi-C data from 55 fungal. Preprint: lnkd.in/enxTh2Cm

Amelia Barber @ameliabarberphd.bsky.social discusses the emergence of C. parapsilosis as a drug resistant infection This is very concerning because parapsilosis can spread in hospital 🏥 #fungal26

By diving into compost’s microbial battlefield, this project aims to shed light on the mechanisms leading to human virulence emergence in environmental opportunistic fungal pathogens. 🌍➡️🧑‍⚕️ Many thanks to Bernhard Hube for the nice pictures!

I am: 🌱 Sampling compost heaps to culture A. fumigatus; 🧫 Isolating bacteria and fungi that co-exist with it; 🧬 Using metagenomics & metatranscriptomics to uncover ecological functions that moonlight as virulence strategies for human infection.

That’s what I am investigating in my Postdoc in the Fungal Informatics group with @ameliabarberphd.bsky.social at the @uni-jena.de @microverse.bsky.social

There, they have to fight against bacteria, fungi, and even amoebae predators. But here’s the big mystery: how does a fungus adapted to an environmental lifestyle also acquire the ability to infect humans—without ever experiencing direct selective pressure from us? 🤔

🌱🔥🫁 From compost heaps to human lungs: Understanding how Aspergillus fumigatus has acquired the ability to infect humans Opportunistic fungal pathogens like Aspergillus fumigatus primarily live in the environment, thriving in very diverse ecosystems such as soils and compost heaps.

My group at is hiring a PhD student to explore how fungal pathogens that live in the environment will adapt their genomes, acquire new phenotypes, and perhaps even increased infectivity as a result of climate change. Please share! More info and applications at @ jobs.uni-jena.de/vrbup

Last week we enjoyed a lovely day of socialising and networking with the groups of @mgblango.bsky.social and @slavi-jan.bsky.social. We broke into teams for a scavenger hunt and visited a palace outside Weimar. We were even joined by special guest @mulveylab.bsky.social while he was visiting!

My project aims at unraveling how the environmental lifestyle of #Aspergillusfumigatus, through its interaction with the #soilmicrobiota (bacteria, fungi and predatory amoebae), shapes its #virulence and ability to infect humans. Stay tuned for updates!
