Registration and Abstract NOW OPEN!!
Join us!! 7th-9th September 2025 for the @BritSocMedMyc 59th annual conference at @NorwichCC @Assembly_House
@MFIG_Bertuzzi @NormanRhijn @AlyssaHudson83 @SBidula #Norwich2025 #BSMM2025
Proud to be part of #BritishScienceWeek25
We're at @McrMuseum sharing our research with KS3 pupils. Lots of interesting conversations raising awareness of #antifungalresistance and #fungalinfections.
#bsw25 – at Manchester, England

For @ConversationUK I compiled some of the information from our latest commentary📩 in @TheLancet on antifungal resistance🍄🟫 and the AMR discussion.🗣️

With help of many people we gathered 18 fluorophores and looked at brightness in hyphae and spores - GFP and RFP move aside, here’s mGreenlantern and mScarlet3 - also we got blue FPs inspired by the good work of @joachimgoedhart

🚨New publication
My first senior author and @issyinthelab first 1st author paper @UofMMFIG
18 fluorophores in Aspergillus fumigatus, and a strain that does 4 organelles multi-coloured at the same time🖍️🎨
And we will share with anyone who wants them!

Super excited to share my first (shared) first author paper from @UofMMFIG and @imed_tweets. We compared the brightness of 18 fluorescent proteins in Aspergillus fumigatus when expressed in germlings and spores journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… – at East, England

FungiDB.org is back online!
Welcome back! VEuPathDB resources are back online today! We will continue to provide bioinformatics services under a new organizational structure. Read more here: veupathdb.org/veupathdb/app/…

🚨In @TheLancet now #OpenAccess
In our comment we urged to look beyond bacteria and include antifungal resistance in #AMR policy decisions
Many thanks to all authors @ferryhagen @_jbeardsley_ @dr_bongomin @thefunguskidd @Ana_Alastruey @neleshg

A week ago #BSMM2024 gave us an amazing opportunity to share our science. Thank you Cardiff! see you all in Norwich! Mark your calendars on September 2025! @BritSocMedMyc @MycologyRefManc @AFGTweets @MRCcmm @ISHAM_Mycology @eurconfmedmycol @BritMycolSoc @UofMMFIG @efisg_escmid
Latest work from our group @bromleymichael
Thanks to many people involved and all collaborators
Our latest work is out in @NatureComms !!🚨🚨
This has been about 10 years in the making
Some highlights:
➡️Genome wide generation of protein kinase mutants
➡️Development of Bar-seq in vitro and in vivo
➡️Target gene (YakA) and showing it is druggable

The Hidden World of Killer Fungus 🍄
Get up close to some of the most important (but safe!) fungal species in
science and learn how we use these to study infectious fungi in our lab 🥼🧪🧫

We have a 4-year funded MRC Microbes, Microbiomes, and Bioinformatics DTP project to identify targets to overcome drug-resistant fungal skin infections 🍄 The MMB DTP includes extensive expert training in microbial bioinformatics and molecular microbiology. Project below 👇

Today, @bromleymichael and I are in the House of Lords discussing #AMR, Microbiomes and Government policy

#Fungal24 want to chat more about this work? Antifungals, CRISPR, or anything mycology? Find me later today at Poster 444B
@NormanRhijn explains the dangers of cross resistance due to using analogous anti fungal compounds in the environment and in the clinic #Fungal24
