This week marks Fungal Disease Awareness Week to highlight the growing public health threat posed by fungal infections.🦠🧫

Per @CDCgov, many fungal diseases are an emerging global health threat — often under-recognized, frequently misdiagnosed, and increasingly resistant to available treatments.

At The Lundquist Institute, we are committed to advancing translational research that addresses these challenges — from studying the molecular mechanisms of fungal pathogens to developing novel tools for early detection and treatment. Our recent stories showcase that commitment and the impact of our science on public health. 🧬🔬

Join us in raising awareness: Early detection matters, proper treatment saves lives. Support our work and other critical research at TLI: https://t.co/10LBdIg78a.

Honored to welcome
@SenBillCassidy to @the_lundquist. I showed him
@IbrahimLab3, where we study host–pathogen interactions, develop immunotherapies for mucormycosis, and advance vaccines against drug-resistant infections. Grateful for his support of biomedical research.

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that causes severe disease and fatality. “Mucormycosis usually occurs in patients who suffer from weakened immune system, such as patients with poorly controlled diabetes, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and transplant patients,” says TLI Investigator Ashraf Ibrahim, PhD. 🔬🧪

@cnobile1 @Guanghua11 @craiglewisennis I noticed this when I started working on C. auris mouse model back in 2017. I am glad someone looked in this and delineated this unusual phenomenon in vivo. Kudos to the whole team.
