Was such a privilege to indulge my passion for #scicomm and present at @UNSWCentreIdeas’s “What Comes Next” alongside some incredible academics. Can’t wait for the next set of talks on September 7 at UNSWRoundhouse !!!

Delighted to see our new review on fungal cell wall structure out in Nature Reviews Microbiology! It was a pleasure writing this with Neil Gow UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences MRC Centre for Medical Mycology nature.com/articles/s4157…



What a way to end the first year of my #PhD!!! Was lucky enough to spend last week at Hudson Institute of Medical Research CiiiD Hudson learning from the incredible people in the Forster Lab. Special thanks to Sam Forster for fostering such a welcoming environment (& pardon the pun) 🧫👩🏻🔬🧬






Beyond excited to attend the #medical #mycology session on the final day of #ASM2023 ASM. A highlight was hearing from Jan-Willem Alffenaar about how the World Health Organization (WHO) fungal priority pathogen list was developed & the incredibly complex decision making behind-the-scenes. 🍄🌏👩🏻🔬🧬🩺




New research, led by UNSW School of Chemical Engineering Prof. Cyrille Boyer’s team and involving UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences Dr Megan Lenardon (Megan Lenardon), has developed a series of synthetic polymers offering a promising alternative to current antifungal drugs: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…
