Out now: the story of how gut bacteria-derived SCFAs regulate the virulence characteristics of Candida albicans 😇👿

Read our latest review led by Chris McCory @chrismccro (and catch up with him at #HFP2024):

The human gastrointestinal microbiome encompasses bacteria, fungi, and viruses forming complex bionetworks which, for organismal health, must be in a state of homeostasis. An important homeostatic...

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.

The scarcity of available antifungal drugs and rising resistance demand the development of therapies with new modes of action. In this context, chromatin regulation may be a target for novel antifu...

First ever radio interview! Thank you @HCWeerasinghe for joining me, and @LMackayLab for being such a good host ❤️

Some fungi are friendly, some dangerous to agriculture, wildlife and humans. We are uncovering their secrets in the @TravenLab
