A fantastic essay for Wellcome from #ListerFellow @BallouLab on the value of bioimaging in medical mycology, and how we can start to close the gap in our understanding of fungi.

“There are very few medications in our antifungal arsenal and even these are beginning to fail,” says Dr Elizabeth Ballou @BallouLab @UniofExeter.
Could bioimaging be part of the solution?
