“Run, Forrest, run!” Team Noah smashed the @RunThroughUK Fulham10k and so far have raised £4,886.00. Well done👏 Turn your steps into science! Every pound goes to our base-editing research project with @GreatOrmondSt. 💪How are you making your steps count? #ThrowbackThursday

Such a stunning image and a powerful reminder of the types of persistent infection these fungi cause.
🎆 Fungal fireworks! 🎆 This #imageoftheweek shows Trichophyton, the mould #fungus behind athlete’s foot & ringworm. It forms spores that germinate and grow long, thin strands called hyphae. 📸 Mark Stappers, Ian Leaves & Darren Thomson, MRC Centre for Medical Mycology #fungi

Check this out! A pioneering new discovery made possible by all those supporting @NoahsPinkB . Well done @AlyssaHudson83 and @BallouLab
Supported by @NoahsPinkB, our researchers have discovered that the monoclonal antibody TG11 is the first potential pan-Mucorales–specific antibody to detect active Mucorales growth! shorturl.at/VfZUC #mycology #mucormycosis #legacy #publication #journal

Fantastic to see the work of @AlyssaHudson83 and funded by us centre stage - inroads being made in fungal diagnostics and the deadly fungal infection mucormycosis @MRCcmm @UniofExeter
Now at #eccmid2024 New fungal diagnostics 🍄🧪 Starting with a potential new biomarker for mucormycosis which we DESPERATELY need! Fabulous talk from @AlyssaHudson83 of @MRCcmm on TG11 mucor antigen @forestcita @BallouLab @Adilia76645023 #escmidglobal2024

Powerful microscopic imagery depicting a deadly disease. So special that our Fellow's work is part of this exhibition @UniofExeter featuring #research from world leading scientists and clinicians @MRCcmm
If you're near Streatham Campus over the next month pop into Queen's Building and take a look at this fab art exhibition which is in place until the 29 March. 🎨🖼️ You can also read more about Alyssa's research in our 2023 Alumni Magazine: publications.exeter.ac.uk/20…

A vivid treat for the senses and of art and science coming together. The more our scientists can depict and understand these hidden pathogens, the better!
Stunning microscopy images captured using state-of-the-art technology! Discover these images & more in The Hidden World of Fungi exhibition, Queens Building @UniofExeter 📸 @AlyssaHudson83 as part of her @NoahsPinkB Fellowship, @tina_bedekovic @MalamudMariano @fungalhyphae

Very striking image. And a great opportunity to see the cutting edge research and technology @MRCcmm up close and personal.
Very excited to have our image included in the @MRCcmm 'Hidden World of Killer Fungi' exhibition. Taken during my MRes with @BallouLab @forestcita @NoahsPinkB. Rhizopus arrhizus, the principal cause of mucormycosis, stained with a diagnostic antibody (orange).
