Packed house at #CSM_SCM2022 CSM_SCM2022 !!

Poster presenters extraordinaire Nicholas Gervais and Meea! #CSM_SCM2022

The recipient of the Mentorship Award for Postdocs is Dr. Laetitia Maroc from MCB at UofG. Dr. Laetitia Maroc creates a safe space for students and has facilitated conversations around topics such as diversity in academia, career paths, and prioritizing mental health. Congratulations!

New work from Nicholas Gervais and team on the development of a single-plasmid CRISPRa system for efficient genetic overexpression in Candida albicans Genetics Society of America academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

We're here to support your fungal genetic overexpression dreams! 🧚‍♀️

Grad students laurwensing and Nicholas Gervais (MCB at UofG) are visiting Aleeza Gerstein's lab (ManitobaMicrobiology) as part of their @EvoFunPath CRSNG / NSERC internship, where they are learning new computational tools to analyze their fungal mutant libraries 💻🧬🍄

Awesome talk by Alyssa La Bella on C. albicans CAUTIs including some CRISPR/CRISPRa from our lab! Rebecca Shapiro laurwensing

Mom asked, "I wonder when cherries bloom in Japan?" So I found 1200 years of data online and made her a plot.

So it's official - I'm going to attempt living on a diet of only algae for an entire month. Please head to this link to help support the experiment! experiment.com/projects/super…

Well if it isn't our lab's very own Nicholas Gervais repping MCB at UofG's (outstanding!) microbiology program! 🧫🦠🍄

PhD student Nicholas Gervais and Rebecca Shapiro from MCB at UofG have customized a genetic editing tool to better study & fight off Candida albicans, a fungal pathogen deadly in vulnerable populations. Read the new #Scribe article by Éléonore Lebeuf-Taylor: adr-cbs.uoguelph.ca/fighting-fungi…

CRISPR experts to the rescue! A troubleshooting question on measuring the expression from sgRNA cassette 🙏

Come work with us! Evolutionary cell and systems biology, computational and/or experimental! #postdocjobs

These two were so nonstop busy presenting their posters could barely sneak in a good photo #candida2023

So excited to have had the opportunity to present my work at the Candida and candidiasis 2023 conference!

Here are our @EvoFunPath fellows! Thank you NSERC / CRSNG for supporting them!

Our Minnesota IRACDA Program (mniracda.umn.edu) has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar starting on August 31, 2023. Ideally, the candidate would have no more than 1 year of postdoctoral experience.  Application instructions can be found at: mniracda.umn.edu/apply.
