History in the making! 🎓 Huge congratulations to Nora Zöllner, who successfully defended her PhD - earning top honors!
Nora is the very first graduate of our MibiNext cohort. We couldn’t be prouder! A massive achievement for her and a major milestone for the entire network.

Some reflections on #Fungal26 This was a great meeting as always but set against some turbulent times of course, which meant many regular attendees were not present. This thread is mainly for them. However, the proportion of first-time attendees was very high and very international. #Fungal26 1/15

We had a great day at the 1st RNA Confluence Meeting of Rhine-Main-Neckar region German RNA Clubs(+Strasbourg) with 200 attendees & trainee talks at EMBL Heidelberg yesterday. Particularly proud of Sam and Philipp taking home 2 poster prizes (of 100 posters)! 🎉 🐙 Special thanks to Alessia and Venki!

Interesting new link between Rab7 membrane trafficking and oscar mRNA localisation.

Great talk from Aaron Vogan @fungage-lab.bsky.social -the exciting story of the discovery of the huge Starship transposon family in the pezizomycotina that can move up to 3% of the pangenome within and between fungal genomes under control of the Captain Kirc transposases.

We are indebted to Alessia Buscaino for the discovery that the Candida albicans type SC5314 type strain is an RNAi Argonaut mutant. Her great talk today also shows that this is relevant to microbiome and macrophage interactions and has host niche specific consequences. @ecfg172025.bsky.social
