Climate change can impact viral transmission in unexpected ways.

Very pleased to see that our work discussing the origin of pathogenic #fungal hybrids and describing a missing parental lineage is finally out! We need to keep sequencing environmental isolates as well as clinical ones! gabaldonlab Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Coady Lab pumpkin painting!

Congrats to Yue for all her hard work. This was a fun project to work on and I’m happy to see it in print!

After phenomenal talks at the #KSFungalPath24 this morning, I made it up to Mount Norquay. It’s been a couple years since I last went skiing but it comes back quick.

The Last of Us and the Question of a Fungal Pandemic in Real Life "We evaluate whether a fungal pandemic is possible (& reasons behind its current improbability), & the series’ effect on public perception of fungi, fungal infections, & pandemic response" wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30…

I attended this workshop in Houston last year and highly recommend it!

1/n Proud to share our latest work NEJM. A long journey of integrated basic research and clinical care revealed a central role for IFN-g in driving mulitorgan autoimmunity in APECED and devised a personalized, life-transformative intervention for patients nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Now hiring a postdoc in my lab at St. Jude! Looking for motivated candidates interested in mycology, CRISPR technologies, and advancing the treatment of patients with invasive fungal infections (C. auris, A. fumigatus, and Mucorales). Apply now: talent.stjude.org/careers/jobs/J…

We are excited that UTMB will be hosting the American Society for Microbiology, Texas Branch meeting November 7th through 9th, 2024. Mark your calendars and watch for updates at the TXASM.org website!
