ICYMI: Our Career Trajectory Talks kicked-off with a focus on Academia. This content will be available on-demand to registered attendees until August 2022. #BeckmanSymposium

Undergrad researchers Gabrielle Popencuk and Saira Tahsin presented their research on targeting tolerance genes in echinocandin resistant #Candida glabrata at the Philadelphia Infection & Immunity Forum hosted by EasternPABranchASM and won an undergraduate poster award! William Paterson University

So proud of former William Paterson University undergrad researchers @NEBST3R, Adam Wilk, indira sawh, and Geselle Cancino for being primary and co-authors on our recently accepted #Candida auris publication. Work performed in collaboration with Milena Kordalewska. Full text: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Poster presentations (and awards👏) for my undergraduate researchers Gabby and Saira Tahsin at today’s (in-person!) Research Symposium hosted by William Paterson University. Their work is on #Candida auris triazole resistance and C. glabrata echinocandin tolerance. 🔬🧫🧬

Poster presentations by research students Gabrielle and Saira Tahsin at @NewJerseyASM spring symposium held at Rutgers. Gabby also gave a selected talk 👏. And I got to see former student indira sawh present her grad work! William Paterson University

Collaborative pub on #Candida glabrata HAT Gcn5 and its role in drug resistance and virulence. Former William Paterson University grad student Sami Eirekat helped produce genetic mutants and perform assays. Project driven by Yanan Zhao’s group at Hackensack’s CDI. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Had a great time meeting with Dr. Marylynn Snyder and speaking with undergraduate and graduate students during my research talk Seton Hall earlier this month. William Paterson University This was also my first in-person research talk since my second baby!

Happy to contribute a chapter along with Ashutosh Singh to this Damian Krysan and Scott Moye-Rowley edited Springer Protocols book on Methods in Antifungal Drug Resistance. William Paterson University link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

Another great semester running the William Paterson University Women in Science and Enginnering (WISE) program. We hosted Santhi Gorantla and Karen J. Nolan Karen J Nolan two successful and influential women in their respective fields. They gave great talks and networked with our students.

Student researcher presentations! Undergrads Tyler Sanchez and Zubayeda Uddin presented research projects at the William Paterson University Undergraduate Research Symposium and the @NewJerseyASM Spring Symposium.

Research student Zubayeda Uddin gave an excellent talk on her summer work regarding antifungal resistance during the September meeting of WPU-LSAMP. William Paterson University

Undergrad (soon to be graduate) student Zubayeda Uddin presented her Honor’s thesis on antifungal resistance William Paterson University Undergraduate Research Symposium (1st place poster award winner!) and at the spring symposium of NJ’s branch of ASM. She also gave 2 talks at our univ.

Another successful year of coordinating the WISE program William Paterson University. We hosted several successful and engaging speakers, including Lily Young, Wendy Clemens, and Savanah Saldana-Shumaker. Listen to their talks: wpunj.edu/wise/series-an…
