After 12 years, a comprehensive reassessment of annual incidence of severe fungal disease finds 6.5M affected with 3.7M deaths. ~68% of deaths directly attributable. 2x prior mortality estimate. Lack of suspicion & diagnosis the largest factor in deaths. gaffi.org/media/news/

Our newest postdoc @FA_Olivier spent several years recording Candida albicans āš”ļø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/prot…

New paper! @STARProtocols actually let me write a big ol’ protocol: live cell imaging to quantify Candida albicans escape from macrophages. star-protocols.cell.com/prot… I’m talking notes, video demonstrations, troubleshooting, sample data, MATHS! @TravenLab @CentreImpactAMR
