Onderzoekers van @BiologyKULeuven @SET_KULeuven hebben ontdekt welke eiwitten essentieel zijn voor de vorming van schimmelklonters en biofilms door ziekenhuisschimmer Candida auris. Deze kennis kan bijdragen tot de ontwikkeling van nieuwe behandelingen.

Very impressed that conference organiser @PatrickDijck was also serving the Belgian beer for the poster session last night at #SMYTE 2023.
Professor Bruno Andre included as a fiducial marker.

💡Although polyenes were the first broad spectrum antifungal drugs on the market, after 70 years they are still the gold standard to treat a variety of fungal infections. This review provides a short description of the history and clinical use of polyenes: mdpi.com/2309-608X/6/4/321
