π¨A random solution to a growing fungal threatπ¨
Our work on random peptide mixtures reveals potent antifungal activity against multidrug-resistant pathogens like C. auris, with low resistance potential and strong biofilm activity.
Now out in mBio!

Could a virus be the secret weapon behind deadly fungal infections?
A study by Dr. @ShlezingerLab, Dr. Marina Campos Rocha, Dr. Vanda Lerer & John Adeoye shows that targeting a hidden virus inside Aspergillus fumigatus could lead to more effective treatments.

Our study on a mycovirus that boosts fungal virulence is now out β and beautifully covered in this Behind the Paper piece by Amariliz Rivera
Huge thanks for capturing the heart of the story so thoughtfully.

π€― One of the coolest stories I've ever come across showcasing virus-host-superhost interactions. This is a major paradigm in virus pathology that is woefully under-explored. π #virology #microbiology #fungi

A vital virus (again) provides a benefit to fungi under oxidative stress, heat stress, and within the murine lung. Fun!

My lab was totally destroyed tonight by an Iranian missile. Nobody was hurt. Flies, plasmids, cells, equipment - all gone. Heart breaking. If during the course of the past 16 years, you have received something from my lab - please keep them safe.

Had an amazing day of nifty mycology with all my Israeli funguys π! Big thanks to @covolab for organizing and to all the fantastic speakers, including our very own @jon_adeoye. Looking forward to more fungal adventures!
