The filamentous fungi project is gaining another star - University of Manchester alumnus Dr Lauren Dineen!
Coming straight from a post-doc in the west-coast USA, brining t-RNA and bioinformatics expertise, Lauren will begin genetically screening our filamentous fungi collection and making sense of our 300 strains of weird and wonderful fungi! Welcome Lauren!

Professor Alessia Buscaino is leaving the Garden of England moving her research to the North Sea coastline & flatlands of Norfolk. At the Quadram Institute in Norwich, she will be continuing and expanding her work both into fungal pathogens and edible fungi. See her bittersweet, but exciting announcement on LinkdIn.
