It's finally out (and yes, I'm posting this a few weeks late), but in an effort to be better about sharing science, check out our recent paper:

Excited it's finally submitted! In this paper, we begin to identify the genetic basis of enhanced growth of Akkermansia biwaensis on 2'FL.

New preprint out of the lab. This one was a long time coming but well worth the wait!

[Cal State Northridge @csunorthridge]

New equipment curated by an anonymous donation of $250,000 gives research opportunities to microbial physiology students to study the growth of bacteria.

I'm very proud to announce our newest publication in JMBE in which we redesign the microbial unknown https://t.co/NdocGUIsFH...
A huge shout out to my coauthors: Kayla Perri and Maha Abdelhaseib, my mentors: Tom Walter and Chris Sahley, and my inspiration: Sue Merkel

Not sure how far this will reach on 'Ten'- but I will be searching for a TT position this Fall generally in the areas of microbial ecology and genetics. Bonus! I come with experience in teaching and mentoring a diverse student body. Feel free to DM any announcements :)

Finally out! This work describing a genetic system for a very important and cool gut commensal has been a labor of love. Massive amounts of work by @lauren282012, Per Malkus & @ValdiviaLab. Special thanks to @barton_lab and Lawrence David’s for being most excellent collaborators.

📢Out now in @NatureMicrobiol:

A genetic system for Akkermansia muciniphila reveals a role for mucin foraging in gut colonization and host sterol biosynthesis gene expression

Permafrost is different from other soils. Microbes survive at sub-zero temps for millennia. What controls the microbial biogeography and distribution of genes ? What are the strongest selective pressures shaping communities? Read our paper in @ISMEJournal https://t.co/n5hmRrpHSK

New work out of the lab led by our postdoc @tinycosmical She developed 3 mucin degrading consortia from human donors, only 1 has our favorite bug Akkermansia
