We are truly devastated by the loss of our friend and colleague, Dr Francisco Marty. Francisco was a master clinician, an accomplished investigator of fungal & viral diseases of immunocompromised hosts, a mentor, a talented artist, & beloved friend. He has left us far too soon 🕊

Happy to be able to share with you our preprint on how oestrogen perturbs the Candida host-pathogen interaction, while we find a suitable home for @KumwendaPizga PhD work.

Finally we acknowledge the @wellcometrust for funding this unique training initiative which has promoted medical mycology globally and impacted enormously on the lives of our awardees especially those who returned to their home countries and are establishing their own research.
