Be Part of Research - We are recruiting in our Trial of Interferon-gamma in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/trial-details/…

CPA affects ~3,600 people in the UK. Mortality can reach 40% at 5 years. Current treatment = long-term azoles with limited efficacy + resistance concerns. We urgently need new options. The INCAS Trial explores immune modulation with interferon-gamma. #IDTwitter #LungHealth

Had the pleasure of hosting a very thought provoking BMS talk from Iona Fraser yesterday. Thinking differently about fungi: the two-way benefits of neurodiversity in the mycology community. Lots of ideas on how to make UK fungus day and BMS events more inclusive to the community.

Replicative aging toughens up pathogenic yeasts in face of anti fungal drugs. A big talk on a big stage at ISHAM by Alessandra Da Silva (Newcastle).

Join MRC CMM's Darren Thomson to discover the beautiful and deadly world of killer fungi at Exeter Library Libraries Unlimited 19th June, 1pm-2.15pm eventbrite.co.uk/e/lunchtime-ta…

This beautiful #imageoftheweek was captured by Vanessa Francis and shows the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans (stained purple) in the airways #science #microscopy #health #research #mycology

Congratulation to CMM members Will who won the prize for best poster, and Fabián Salazar who was awarded best presentation at last week's British Society for Immunology meeting in Bristol. Well done to both. 👏👏👏

Great opportunity to network while presenting my fellowship work at the #BSIBristol25 the immunology of long-haul disease, thanks to the British Society for Immunology and the organizers for putting together this meeting and very pleased with the prize! MRC Centre for Medical Mycology

The CMM LATAM Unit has been awarded a prestigious grant of over R$ 5 million (£750,000) from FAPESP, the São Paulo Research Foundation, to tackle endemic mycoses in Latin America. Read the full story here: sites.exeter.ac.uk/medicalmycolog…

🚨New lab pre-print! Here we took a deep dive into brain immune responses comparing clinical isolates of C neoformans. Must read for anyone working on mouse models of cryptococcal meningitis. Also super proud that most of the authors are/were rotating MSc students.

Congratulations to MRC CMM's Catrin Williams for her Howard Eggins Early Career Mycologist Award, for her poster on her work on Synthetic Genetic Array Screening Can Identify Novel Therapeutic Targets and Inhibitors which Combat Drug Resistance in Candida glabrata 👏
