Buscaino Lab enjoyed its first Christmas celebration since moving to Norwich! We started the day with a fun paint splatting session and ended with a Belgian dinner together. It was the perfect chance to celebrate the start of this new chapter at the Quadram Institute. After our bittersweet goodbyes, Buscaino lab is ready to tackle setting up in a new lab and expanding our research at the Quadram Institute Bioscience. We are taking the opportunity to start fresh and better than ever. We thank everyone for their warm welcomes to the Norwich Research Park!  Time has come for the Buscaino group to say goodbye to the University of Kent. We value every opportunity and all the support the University has given us over the decade to grow into the brilliant group we are today. We thank everyone for the kind messages and we wish everyone staying the very best! This will not be the last time you see us!   Alessia, Matt and Elise joined the Microbiology Society's Candida and Candidiasis 2025 conference in Berlin! Matt's presentation on his PhD research into the pathogen's genome plasticity and Elise's elevator talk on RNAi drew in a fascinated audience. Well done to Matt and Elise!   Microbiologists take a break with some macro-biology after a busy year!  Chloe gets to see the fruits of her PhD placement labour with the arrival of the Singer Instruments ColonyCam imagers to KFG imaging facility. Watch out for some dangerously crisp, razor-sharp images coming out of Kent! Thanks to Singer Instruments and their leaders for doing an incredible job with the imagers!
The filamentous fungi project is gaining another hypha - 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.    |
