Exciting PhD project understanding how replicatively aged fungal cells contribute to antimicrobial resistance.
BBSRC Fully funded #PhD position to investigate how #Candida ageing drives #pathogenesis and #AMR. Opportunity to learn how to use new models of infections @ElizabethVeal9 and mathematical modelling to predict AFR. @NewcastleSDS @MIHDNewcastle findaphd.com/phds/project/bb…

(2/3) We found that these genes are activated when the secretory system is stressed, which happens when lipid ratios are out of wack in the secretory system, when blocking the ARF-1 GTPase disrupts Golgi function or when secreted protein load is increased. This could explain

(3/3) why these genes are so strongly unregulated in a pathogen challenge, since antimicrobial peptide production ramps up as well. Big shout to authors Matt Fanelli, @ChristoferWelsh, Lorissa Smulan and Dom Lui.

Jessica Spinelli, PhD, believes sharing goals and approaches to discovery with other researchers can bring about new knowledge, even when the diseases in play are very different. Learn why: direc.to/ka7d #AdvancingTogether @JBSpinelli @ProgMolMed
