IT IS FINALLY OFFICIAL!! 📯📯 I’ve been awarded a @wellcometrust Fellowship 🎉🎊🎈 In the next 5 years I’ll be looking at evolution and adaptation of human fungal pathogens to a warming world!! @BrockhurstLab @UofMMFIG @bromleymichael

Day 1 of the Brazilian Network Meeting on A fumigatus and Antimicrobial Resistance🌳🍄🌾 A wonderful day on a beautiful campus, the air samplers are out and we are ready for a day of fruitful discussions 🤝

interested in clinical approaches to mitigate antifungal resistance development?! 🚨 Our latest review article in Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy we explore important diagnostics and determinants for resistance academic.oup.com/jac/advance-ar…

🚨PhD opportunity The China Scholarship Council (CSC-UoM) Joint Scholarship Programme is to support outstanding Chinese researchers for PhD studies at the University of Manchester and nominations are now open. More information can be found at: bmh.manchester.ac.uk/study/research…

New publication🚨Long term collaborations pay off! I met Jean-Paul 8 years ago in France 🇫🇷 where he told me he doubted that A. fumigatus cell wall did not contain any B1,6-glucan🤷 (random conversation) Now we have shown it! ssNMR to the rescue👌 journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11…

Another great @BritSocMedMyc meeting👌 Thanks to all @forestcita @SBidula @issyinthelab for organising Saying goodbye as my role as Early Career Representative🙋‍♂️but saying Hello as my new elected role as Treasurer Elect 💷

🚨JOB ALERT The Bertuzzi Lab is recruiting 2 postdocs for their @wellcometrust funded Mucorales project. jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

Evolution of antifungal resistance in the environment New Review Article by @NormanRhijn and Johanna Rhodes Read it here: rdcu.be/eyobz nature.com/articles/s4156…

At his recent TED Talk, @algore mentioned our research which forecasts that there will be an increased risk of infection from fungi over the coming years, the extent of which will depend on global actions to mitigate climate change. youtu.be/Ztx0Bch3h9s?si…

Truly honoured to have been recognised as a Fellow of the European Confederation of Medical Mycology 🏅 Looking forward to many years of research 🧫🔬 #ECMM #MedicalMycology

What better than to come back from holiday and go back to where my fungal interests all started 🔥🙌

Climate change: shifting boundaries of fungal disease in Europe and beyond. @NormanRhijn @SarahSedik thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

🚨Our latest review in Thorax about the impact of climate change focusing on fungal pathogens in Europe 🌍 A truly enjoyable collaboration with @SarahSedik @martinhoenigl Ilan Schwartz and Mike Bottery thorax.bmj.com/content/early/…

Last week as part of Cohort III I finished the Leading for Research Fellows programme🙌🔥 Most interesting to talk to Research Fellow from all over the university that run into the same barriers😅 (a lot of job security talks)

Another exciting chat this morning live on CKNW (Canada) about the hidden threat of fungal infection 🍄‍🟫🦠🧫 open.spotify.com/episode/0Rt4iC…

@DrLottieBrown Looks amazing there (jealous)!

Perfect end to the best week in Brazil at ISHAM 2025! Now for a 40 hour transfer to Vietnam (ouch)

A bit late to the party 🎉 but excited to share @DrCruzzell_, @NormanRhijn and my preprint on climate-driven Aspergillus species shifts! Honoured by how much interest there has been from the media in this, link below. 👇 researchgate.net/publication/39…

More and more attention for fungal infections. Some of our work now featured by Bloomberg 📰 bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Brazilian TV had a long section about fungal pathogens, AMR and the future risks of fungi🔥thoroughly enjoyed the filming day! Highlighting research from Brazil and how we in the UK collaborate across the globe 🌍 to bring awareness for fungal diseases
