Excited to share our latest discovery on distinct evolutionary trajectories following RNAi loss in Cryptococcus, now published in PNASNews! Huge thanks to Connor, Vikas Yadav, @magwenelab, Heitman lab at Duke and everyone who supported this work! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A new study from the lab Heitman lab at Duke reports an advance in designing FK506/FK520 analogs that target calcineurin on the path toward new antifungal drugs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A postdoc position in fungal pathogenesis and drug resistance mechanisms is available at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in the labs of Bill Steinbach and Praveen Juvvadi. Details here:

Elated to share that this story about an unexpected and important finding is now published PNASNews. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… These findings have laid a strong foundation for us to now identify proteins critical for cell proliferation at 37°C in a human fungal pathogen.

Extremely excited to present our paper in which we mapped a thermoregulation network that governs virulence in a human fungal pathogen through genetic suppressors, TurboID proximity ligation assay, and functional regulation via domain-truncation alleles. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
