🚨New lab pre-print! We took a deep dive into brain immune responses comparing clinical isolates of C neoformans. Must read if you work on mouse models of cryptococcal meningitis. Also super proud that most of the authors are/were rotating MSc students www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #immunosky 🧪

Organ-specific immune responses are strain-dependent in a mouse model of Cryptococcus neoformans brain infection

Cryptococcal meningitis remains the top cause of death from an invasive fungal infection in humans, responsible for ∼100,000 deaths annually of vulnerable patients with underlying immune deficiencies....

Check out @jlspragu.bsky.social poster about his paper (👉 doi.org/10.1371/jour...) and his tandem talk with Bea Cristóvão from @aps-hki.bsky.social at the FungiNet meeting. In the talk, Jakob will present his newest data about gastrointestinal #Candida albicans reaching the blood stream.

What an incredible joint meeting „FungiNet – Pathogenic fungiand their human host“ & „Invasive Mycoses in Haematological Malignancies – IMIHM XV in Würzburg! 🌟 The discussions were enlightening, and the talks were truly inspiring. 🙌 A big thank you to everyone involved!

#AllEyesOn the National Reference Center for Invasive Fungal Infections! Appointed by the Robert Koch Institute, we offer expert consultation on diagnosing and treating invasive fungal infections. Our work includes species identification, resistance determination & global collaboration. lmy.de/TdgcL

This image shows a person wearing a white lab coat and blue protective gloves holding a stack of cardboard boxes in a laboratory setting. The boxes are labeled with codes and instructions. The background includes laboratory benches and equipment.

#AllEyesOn our independent junior research group (Epi-)Genetic Regulation of Fungal Virulence! We study Fusarium infections end explore the epigenetic regulation of virulence genes, thereby advancing diagnostic methods to better address this opportunistic pathogen. lmy.de/ffrmW

This picture shows laboratory glassware, specifically Erlenmeyer flasks containing a liquid culture of a light, milky color. The flasks are covered with cotton plugs, which is a common practice in microbiology to allow air exchange while preventing contamination. They are placed on a metal shaking incubator, which is used for culturing microorganisms under controlled conditions. The background suggests a laboratory setting with bright lighting.

#AllEyesOn our RG Fungal Septomics! We study systemic fungal infections that trigger sepsis – hard to diagnose & often deadly. We investigate how Candida albicans shifts from harmless yeast to invasive filaments and what role the host immune system plays. lmy.de/PTNYp

This image shows a hand in a white glove holding a petri dish with fungal colonies growing on an agar medium. The dish is held in front of a piece of laboratory equipment that emits purple or UV light, likely for imaging or identification purposes. This setup is commonly used in microbiology research to study microorganisms like Candida albicans or other pathogens.
