🚨A random solution to a growing fungal threat🚨
Our work on random peptide mixtures reveals potent antifungal activity against multidrug-resistant pathogens like C. auris, with low resistance potential and strong biofilm activity.
Now out in mBio!

Could a virus be the secret weapon behind deadly fungal infections?
A study by Dr. @ShlezingerLab, Dr. Marina Campos Rocha, Dr. Vanda Lerer & John Adeoye shows that targeting a hidden virus inside Aspergillus fumigatus could lead to more effective treatments.

Our study on a mycovirus that boosts fungal virulence is now out — and beautifully covered in this Behind the Paper piece by Amariliz Rivera
Huge thanks for capturing the heart of the story so thoughtfully.
Out Now! Mycoviruses steer fungal fitness bit.ly/463d2oG #Mycoviruses #FungalFitness #AspergillusFumigatus

🤯 One of the coolest stories I've ever come across showcasing virus-host-superhost interactions. This is a major paradigm in virus pathology that is woefully under-explored. 🍄 #virology #microbiology #fungi
🚨 Fungi + viruses + mammalian lungs? Buckle up! Our new paper in
@natmicrobiol.nature.com
uncovers the story of a deadly fungus and its gnarly viral hitchhiker — and how this duo may change how we diagnose & treat fungal disease 🍄🫁🚨 doi.org/10.1038/s41564-025-0… ⬇️

A vital virus (again) provides a benefit to fungi under oxidative stress, heat stress, and within the murine lung. Fun!
