What's so great about crotonate? Find out in our latest publication led by Christopher McCrory: here we show that this short chain fatty acid epigenetically counteracts Candida albicans hyphal morphogenesis. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… Centre to Impact AMR Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute

New paper! STAR Protocols actually let me write a big ol’ protocol: live cell imaging to quantify Candida albicans escape from macrophages. star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/3144 I’m talking notes, video demonstrations, troubleshooting, sample data, MATHS! Traven Lab Centre to Impact AMR

Our newest postdoc Françios Olivier spent several years recording Candida albicans ⚔️macrophage-battles in vitro. Now he has published a protocol detailing how he used live cell imaging to quantify phagocytosis escape, macrophage death & more: star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/3144

Final PhD review for our PhD candidate Christopher McCrory. Congratulations Chris on an impressive body of work and an outstanding talk! Soon-to-be Dr McCrory recently published about how crotonate modulates Candida albicans morphology, in mBio Centre to Impact AMR Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute

Congratulations Francios, our lab is very proud of you!

Killer fungi and the reference lab watching out for emerging health threats. Read this article in the Guardian highlighting the work of @thefunguskidd #superbugs #antibioticresistance #fungi theguardian.com/science/2024/f…

New paper alert! 📜 Tricia Lo leads a comphrehensive characterisation of C. albicans YEATS domain reader Yaf9. We found that the Yaf9 C-terminal domain is vital for interactions with SWR1 and NuA4 and essential for in vitro and in vivo virulence. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the green mould he was working with produced a substance that could kill many common bacteria that infect humans. He called this new, exciting substance "mould juice". It took him a couple of months to come up with a better name and on 7
