🚨We (+ Amelia Barber & Holger Bierhoff) are embarking on an amazingly cool new collaborative journey to investigate funky RNA-centric host-fungal interactions, and we need two PhD students (1 dry lab, 1 wet lab) to trail blaze! Leibniz-HKI Universität Jena Apply below. Please RT.

This journey was full of beautiful memories and hard times. I have been supported by a wonderfull family, friends and my scientific mentor. Today I am infinitely grateful to all of them. Mostly, to my husband and my beloved son, to whom I owe the motivation to always move forward

Check out our latest publication: doi.org/10.1080/215055… If you are curious what we found but have little time to read it all... Here is a graphical summary of our results

Extremely happy to be with my family at #HFP2024 presenting part of my PhD project. I am grateful to Wolfgang Vivas for supporting me on this journey, and also to my great mentors, Kerstin Voigt and recently Mark Gresnigt.

Next up in the session on the host‘s perspective #HFP2024: Mark Gresnigt presenting his work on fungal adaptation in Candida

Finally there! I am very grateful to my mentors, to my family and colleagues for their support during all these years. What a great memory! Everything was worth it.

Neutrophils are crucial in host defense against infections, but not always. During vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) they contribute to disease severity. To know more, check out our review on the complicated immunopathogenesis of VVC academic.oup.com/ooim/article/5…
