Happy belated birthday to our fearless leader!!! An incredible afternoon celebrating with our wonderful team (past and present). 🧬🥳🎂

I’m ✨yeast-static✨ to share that my first first-author research paper is officially out in @CellReports! 📚 Huge thank you to my incredible co-authors and mentors for their hard work and support in making this research possible. 🔬Check it out here: tinyurl.com/ymjww6yp

Our team of summer undergraduate students did a fantastic job presenting their summer research projects at a busy poster session this afternoon. Congrats to all of you on all your hard work!! 🍄🧫🔬🥼

Looking back at some of our trainees who attended @CSM_SCM last week. A wonderful event 🧬🧫 Looking forward to next year already

Thank you @CanFunNet for inviting us to talk about our work that leverages chemical genomics to advance the development of antifungal drugs. A wonderful afternoon with some great research talks 🍄🧪

More research posters from @UofTEPIC 2024 Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research Day focused on chemical biology and functional genomic approaches to understand and combat the fungal pathogen Candida albicans

Cowen lab members LOVING their time at #HFP2024 🍄🧪👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🥼🫶♥️

Some of our talented trainees presenting their work at #HFP2024 that focuses on chemical biology and functional genomic approaches to further our understanding of Candida biology and identify novel therapeutic targets. Looking great team!

An exciting day for the amazing and soon to be Dr. Emma Lash who is currently defending her PhD 🍄🧬🔬🥼👩‍🔬🌡️

A fantastic review authored by two of our senior graduate students. Congrats Sara and Emily on this wonderful body of work. Advancements and challenges in antifungal therapeutic development | Clinical Microbiology Reviews journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/cm…

Earlier this week the Cowen Lab kicked off the Holiday season with our annual holiday party and gift exchange. Always a wonderful time celebrating the accomplishments of such a wonderful group of young scientists 🧫🧬🥼👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬 #tisthescience

Congrats to @jessiemacalpine who recently published DYRK-family kinases regulate Candida albicans morphogenesis and virulence through the Ras1/PKA pathway @mbiojournal |journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
