Kanwal Matharu, MD, of @UIowaEye provides quality eye care for global underserved populations. "Iowa has been one of the best educational institutions, not only for ophthalmology but also in terms of our eye banking and just the ethos here," he says. spr.ly/6014vrNrn
It’s a great time of year to ask yourself “when was the last time the incubator intake vent was cleaned?” (if you have to ask then it’s time to clean it)
Experimenting with a different kind of cloning in the lab....plants!! We attempted to propagate a cape sundew through cuttings. First, we cut leaves off this mother plant (shown here flowering)...

Congratulations to newly minted MBL #MOMY2024 alumni. Great things to come from this group. #MolecularMycology @cramer_lab @MBLScience
I am hiring a research assistant to work on elucidating mechanisms of cerebral pathogenesis using murine and cell culture models. If you're interested, apply here before aug 16th: nam12.safelinks.protection.o…. Please share this link if you know of people who may be interested!
In a monumental effort, my research assistant completed a primary screen of 150,000 compounds!! There’s still a LOT of work to be done but in an academic setting with limited automation, this is quite the feat!!!
I almost forgot to post our most recent paper published in mSpectrum! We completed a screen of ~50K compounds and characterized one of our tops hits, a pyrimidine-based compound, which disrupts ER function in A. fumigatus!

It has been a whirlwind of a month but the Beattie lab has officially moved (across the hall)!! We are excited to grow into our new space and even more excited that the move is over now...
After months of waiting with score one point over interim pay lines, I finally have a fundable score on my R21!!!!

Why shouldn't we rely on a limited number of reference strains to study fungal pathogens? My thoughts in this month's @NatureRevMicro Journal Club, featuring work by @caitlinkowa @BeattieLab @cramer_lab.
Breaking the mould: rethinking ‘wild type’ in fungal pathogens
In this Journal Club, Amelia Barber discusses a study revealing intraspecies heterogeneity in Aspergillus fumigatus, prompting us to re-evaluate the notion of ‘reference’ strains.

Don't forgot, editing is part of writing. Reading is part of writing. Lying facedown on the floor, worrying those around you, is part of writing.
