The 8th Annual Tennessee Fungal Pathogens group retreat was an authentic success! We shared really good science and was a great place to start new collaborations! Looking forward to the next one!
It was an honor to have Dr Marc Swidergall @Swidergall_lab as our keynote speaker in the 8th TFP retreat! He gave an amazing talk about mucosal fungal immunity and shared really good feedback and advice with some of our work as well.
Our senior researcher @Adela_MV also shared some exciting data about the role of the protein kinase, CotA, in carbon source selection in A. fumigatus in our TFP retreat!
Great talk of our third year grad student, Harrison Thorn, about the Septation Initiation Network in Aspergillus fumigatus in our Tennessee Fungal Pathogens retreat!

Now hiring a postdoc in my lab at St. Jude!
Looking for motivated candidates interested in mycology, CRISPR technologies, and advancing the treatment of patients with invasive fungal infections (C. auris, A. fumigatus, and Mucorales).

Congrats to Jinhong Xie on her first author publication out today in Nature Comm- showing the Aspergillus sterol methyl-transferase, Erg6, associates with lipid droplets, is essential, and when repressed reduces mortality in a murine aspergillosis model!!

Excited to share a recent publication in Nature Communications from our great team of investigators where we reveal a previously unknown secondary mechanism of action of the triazole antifungals against Aspergillus fumigatus mediated by Hmg1

That's a wrap on Day 3 of #AAAM24! 🎉
What an incredible journey through cutting-edge research and expert discussions. A huge thank you to our committee, faculty, speakers, attendees and everyone who made #AAAM24 a success. 🙌
Up next... #AAAM26! 📆 @dwdenning @gangneuxjp
Our colleague @Rybak_JM explaining the last results about a new secondary mechanism to regulate Triazole susceptibility in A. fumigatus in @AAAMConference

An enlightening talk from @RobinaAerts at #AAAM24 goes to show the importance of effective science communication!
A brilliant way to start #AAAM24 - well done 🙌
Take a subject with a high headache potential, give it to @RobinaAerts, get a a clear, thorough and entertaining talk… on PoC in aspergillosis 👏 ! #AAAM2024

Dive into the realm of diagnostics at #AAAM24! 🕵️♂️
Session 3: "New Diagnostics for Aspergillosis, or Old Diagnostics in New Clothes?" is starting soon.
@RobinaAerts, @IbrahimLab3, Xiao Liu, and @Inderpaul39 share insights. 🧪🔍 #MedicalInnovation #mycology
Really good talks of our friends Fabio Gsaller and David Askew in the @AAAMConference second session about pyrimidine biosynthesis and the role of lung fibroblasts in antifungal defense.
Out postdoc @XabiGuru talking about new effectors downstream the SIN pathway in the @AAAMConference
Really good talk of our PhD student @harrison_i_thorn in the @AAAMConference second session Good job!!
