Vasso Makrantoni
@Makrantoni_lab
Lecturer at CIR-IRR, @EdinUni_IRR, University of Edinburgh and @zje_institute. Studying genome instability and antifungal drug resistance in Candida albicans.
We are still looking to recruit a PhD student to work with us on developing predictive tools for analysing microbiome data sets in human health. The student must be a home (UK) student. If interested please email me at my glasgow email address @uogdental @GlasgowBiofilms
Excited about #Fungal pathogens and the interplay with the host? Fully funded PhD in our lab @EdinUni_IRR @zje_institute @edin_EID. Excellent team, including @JPLab_ @ewjwallace and teaching in China! Deadline 31st January. Please RT! biomedical-sciences.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate-s…
Are you interested in fungal infections and host-pathogen interactions? I’m co-supervising a MRC Dimen PhD studentship with @ElizabethVeal9 on how fungal ageing affects host-pathogen interactions in C. elegans. Deadline 13/12 @NewcastleSDS @MIHDNewcastle findaphd.com/phds/project/m…

We are delighted to establish our new Discovery Research Platform for Hidden Cell Biology @EdinburghUni and grateful to @wellcometrust for support. @SBSatEd @WTcell
Discovery research has near limitless potential, but researchers can be faced with barriers too substantial to overcome alone. To address this, we are directing £73 million into eight new Discovery Research Platforms. Learn more ⤵️ wellc.me/416bBjJ
We are looking for a new Research Group Leader to join us @WTcell @SBSatEd in Edinburgh, working in any area of cell biology to complement our existing areas of expertise wcb.ed.ac.uk. Apply with CV, 2 page research proposal and names of 3 referees [email protected].
Work led by @ArnoAlpi shows how the dynamic modulation of #CTLH E3 #ligase complex and its partner E2 conjugating #enzyme UBE2H regulates red blood cell maturation Great team effort by Schulman lab, @labs_mann, @pjmurray_lab and Weiss lab @StJude ➡️ elifesciences.org/articles/77937
Want to know how E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate developmental processes? Check out our recent paper in @eLife highlighting the role of CTLH E3 ligase during erythroid maturation. @ArnoAlpi @chrustowicz_j @MPI_Biochem @pjmurray_lab @labs_mann

Really beautiful and important work by @CurrieCerys @kinetochore @EmmaFor37870390. Happy also for @BMihalas contribution. The first division of human embryos is frequently chaotic!
So pleased to see this paper officially published! We visualised chromosomes in live human embryos for the first time using two methods, and found that the first embryonic mitosis is extended, and frequently shows lagging chromosomes and multipolar chromosome segregation...
We are so excited to be hosting next years BMS Annual Research conference. Please save the date, retweet (and come to the meeting!)
🗓️Save the date: BMS Annual Research Conference 2023 'Fungal Interactions'. 12th-14th September. Plus a one-day Student Research Conference for mycology PhD students. At the Copthorne Hotel, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. #Newcastle #mycology #research #phdstudent #PhD
Fungal PhD opportunities in Edinburgh @SBSatEd. With my group, and with great colleagues including @Allshire_Lab @swainqbiolab @Luehea @Marston_lab @Makrantoni_lab. Please RT! ewallace.github.io/blog/fungal-ph…

We welcome Ankita Chattopadhyay to the lab to start her PhD on Candida albicans Plasticity and Antifungal Resistance @EdiAMR. We thank Darwin Trust @DarwinTrustOfEd for funding her.
Extremely proud for my very talented Master student, Rui Wang, for earning her MScR in Biomedical Sciences with Distinction and entering the Microbiology & Immunology PhD Program in Zurich @ETH_en, @UZH_en. We thank her for all her hard work and wish her a great start!
Excited to see this out in @eLife . Many congratulations to Rachael, Lucia and Dan. Thanks to the reviewers and editors for a positive experience. Chromatin loops are really important for meiosis! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife
