Our latest killer toxin paper just dropped! It's a heavyweight monster of 51 pages and has EVERYTHING you EVER wanted to know about Saccharomyces killer toxins and their predicted structures!

I have been listening to this song since 1998, and I JUST made it out to Walla Walla! youtu.be/CVirrNiNwl8?...
So proud AGAIN. My undergraduate won the poster prize at an ASM meeting for the second year running. Great job Lily Givens!!! She is looking for a PhD position…

Our lastest publication on a new killer toxin produced by a yeast isolated from a fungus-growing ant garden! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
The Rowley/Ytreberg/Patel labs at UI have led a multidisciplinary study to characterize a new yeast toxin! Published in the ASM's flagship Journal - mBio. Eight undergraduate authors contributed to the study, a great team effort! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... @uidaho.bsky.social
The latest paper from my lab! Aerolysin toxins in Saccharomyces yeasts (they "seemed" to be yeast-specific - so maybe(?) don't worry!) | mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Sad to announce that one of the co-discoverers of the killer yeast phenotype passed away today - Canon Malory Makower. Not a scientist, but a priest. It feels odd because today my students presented work on the toxin he discovered at an @asm.org meeting. www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...
🎉 Big news! We've been awarded the 2025 @aaas.org Kavli Science Journalism Gold Award for The Leap, our audio documentary that features the scientists behind some of the biggest breakthroughs of our time. sjawards.aaas.org/news/2025-aa... 1/
Postdocs - if you want to work on killer yeasts - I am HIRING.

CLOSING SOON!
The postdoctoral fellow will work in the lab of Paul Rowley to understand the basis of resistance to antifungal “killer” toxins produced by different species of fungi. This hire will use genetics, bio...
