Really love being a PhD tutor at The Brilliant Club! 💫 This term, I’ll be delivering my module ‘The mysterious world of human pathogenic fungi’ to KS5 pupils! 🍄 #fungi #mycology

Our review is out! Introducing the wonderful and fascinating world of C. albicans biofilms and polymicrobial interactions! Massive thank you to Lea Lortal, Gordon Ramage and everyone at team The Naglik Lab. Have a read, share and enjoy!

Many congratulations to Dr Nicole Ponde on her outstanding research into EGFR-mediated responses to candidalysin and for completing her postdoctoral studies at The Naglik Lab. Good luck with the next chapter at @slg1717 !!!!!!!

I passed with minor corrections!!! A massive thank you to The Naglik Lab for your supervision and support over the last 6 years 🥰 and many thanks to my examiners Elaine Bignell and Darius Armstrong-James

Such a special day yesterday! Very weird to hear Dr Ponde, but so so happy!! Again massive thanks to my second family The Naglik Lab The Moyes Lab for everything!
