Delighted to see the last chapter of my PhD thesis in print with @microbiologysociety.org Here we used the EVPL model to examine coinfection between A. fumigatus and P. aerugionsa. Many thanks to @medmycology.bsky.social and @friendlymicrobe.bsky.social for all of your support tinyurl.com/42z84wcn

Aspergillus fumigatus coinfection facilitates Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronicity within an ex-vivo pig lung model

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fumigatus represent the dominant bacterial and fungal pathogens in the lungs of adults with cystic fibrosis. Understanding how these species interact with each o...

Delighted to share I have officially graduated with my PhD from @maynoothuniversity.ie marking the end of an incredibly transformative journey filled with challenges and amazing experience. Thank you Kevin @medmycology.bsky.social for your guidance and support I couldn't have done it without you

End of an Era today at @maynoothuniversity.ie dropping my hardbound thesis in to @medmycology.bsky.social marking the end of an amazing 4 years of work together @researchireland.ie

I am proud to say I have successfully defended my PhD thesis! Thank you Prof. Kevin Kavanagh @medmycology.bsky.social for your supervision and support over the years and my examiners,Prof Kay Ohlendieck and Dr. @jorgeamich.bsky.social for a really enjoyable viva. Thank you @researchireland.ie

It was an honour to be a representative of the Irish Division today at the @microbiologysociety.org Early Career Microbiologist of the year awards in London. It was a privilege to present my work alongside some truely amazing researchers from a wide range of expertise and interests

In the lead-up to the Early Career Microbiologist of the Year talk prize final, taking place on 7 October 2025 during the Executive Committee meeting, we spoke to talk finalist @aaroncurtismicro.bsky.social, from Maynooth University, Ireland – microb.io/4ginXOW
