New research, led by @UNSWChemEng Prof. Cyrille Boyer’s team and involving @UNSWBABS Dr Megan Lenardon (@_doctormeg), has developed a series of synthetic polymers offering a promising alternative to current antifungal drugs: unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…
Absolute blast last night at the @jamsorgau x @AUSSOCMIC NSW/ACT Branch Student Special. Lovely to see our students thriving doing outstanding microbiology 🧫 Very proud of them all! BIG Congrats to winners Lewis Mercer (Judges Choice) and Bianca Briscas (Peoples Choice) 🏆
Grateful for the opportunity to present my work at the JAMS x ASM Student Special last night, and even more grateful to have received the People’s Choice award. Thank you @jamsorgau & @AUSSOCMIC 👩💻🧪🍄
Beyond excited to attend the #medical #mycology session on the final day of #ASM2023 @AUSSOCMIC. A highlight was hearing from Jan-Willem Alffenaar about how the @WHO fungal priority pathogen list was developed & the incredibly complex decision making behind-the-scenes. 🍄🌏👩🏻🔬🧬🩺
@biancabriscas doing a fab job at her poster last night 😊 #2023asm @AUSSOCMIC
Having an incredible time in Perth at #ASM2023 @AUSSOCMIC! Loved hearing from @Remy_Young_ + other awesome speakers this morning in the #human #microbiome session 🧬🧫👩🏻🔬
Congratulations @biancabriscas who did a fab 1MT presentation on her PhD project at the @UNSWScience postgrad showcase today!
📢The WHO fungal priority pathogens list as a game-changer As fungal diseases are on the rise globally, Fisher & Denning discuss the WHO fungal priority pathogens list and call for improved research, surveillance and public health interventions nature.com/articles/s4157…
What a way to end the first year of my #PhD!!! Was lucky enough to spend last week at @Hudson_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) 🧫👩🏻🔬🧬

🎉 Congratulations to PhD student @biancabriscas for communicating her important research to a wider audience which was published in @forbes_au! Read more here ➡️ forbes.com.au/news/innovatio…
Delighted to see our new review on fungal cell wall structure out in @NatureRevMicro! It was a pleasure writing this with @neil_gow @UNSWBABS @MRCcmm nature.com/articles/s4157…
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 @RoundhouseUNSW !!!
