Dr Chloe Uyl was invited to Bangkok to talk about her research on fungal diversity and using it for eco-focused biotech, accompanied by Professor Alessia Buscaino, at the workshop Exploring New Horizons: Novel Microbial Platforms for Protein and Biochemical Production workshop in Bangkok, Thailand, hosted by BIOTEC-NSTDA. Thanks for the great representation, we hope to see some exciting collaboration!

Fresh off of Chloe's viva, we welcome a new team member joining Chloe on the Alternative Proteins project - Michaela Kolmosova. She will be doing some chemical analysis on our funky filamentous fungi and waste media, as well as general lab technician duties with Khethi.  Kent's very own Chloe Uyl has emerged triumphant from her viva. After 4 years of hard work, she has completed and defended her research on using natural diversity of Scheffersomyces stipitis (formerly Pichia stipitis) for biofuel production. Congratulations to Chloe on the exciting work and we look forward to seeing where her research career takes her next!
Professor Buscaino has been as busy as ever with her grant proposals - and she's on (a sustainable) fire! She has been awarded a grant from Imperial's Centre for Sustainable Protein funded by the Bezos Earth Fund to build on her work in climate solutions with fungi to research novel platforms for sustainable food production. Congratulations to Alessia and her partners!
 We have so much to celebrate: a new paper published, Chloe writing her thesis and, sadly, Sam and Cristina leaving. Time for an escape room and dinner at Alessia's.
 Candida albicans has an active RNA interference pathway! Congratulation Elise and Cristina
 A nice but cold lab day out in Whitstable!
 New Collaborative Grants! It's brilliant to be part of the two Imperial-led consortia to explore and develop alternative protein fungal platforms! @BBSRC Mission Hubs and @Bezos Centre for Sustainable Proteins. The grants will support the research of two Postdocs and one Research Technician
 We had a brilliant time at the School of Biosciences' Christmas Poster Madness! The KFG won first place with a poster exploring the appearance of barmy baby dolls in our laboratories!
 It was great to be invited to present our Candida albicans research at the Mycotalk seminar series.
