For International Women's Day we would like to recognize a remarkable member of our microbiology community: Dr. Lisa McLellan who is a postdoctoral fellow @MITBiology and will be starting her independent career at Purdue University Fort Wayne @lkmclellan #WomenInSTEM #WomensDay

[Grossman Lab @Grossman_Lab]

We are very thrilled and proud to announce that our postdoc Lisa McLellan will open her research group at Purdue University Fort Wayne!! We wish you all the best and cannot wait to see your research develop! Hooray Lisa!! 🍾🎊

[Lisa McLellan @lkmclellan]

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I will be joining @PFW_Biology as an assistant professor of biology this fall! I am so blessed to be joining such an amazing group of passionate individuals, working to inspire the next generation of scientists.

Hi all! We are excited to share Saria’s (@Sciria_) work in collaboration with the Stavans group. We found that an Integrative and Conjugative Element can be highly mobile when looking for its integration site once it enters a new cell. Fantastic Saria!

That’s out Dr. McLellan presenting her cool science over there! 😎
Stay tuned!! We have big and excited news coming soon!! 🧬

[Lisa McLellan @lkmclellan]

I had a wonderful time at the 2023 Mark Wilson Conference! I got to meet so many amazing scientists and can’t wait to see all the wonderful science to come!

[Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM) @BostonBacteria]

Today we celebrate Dr. Selam Woldemeskel @swarmisms. Dr. Woldemeskel is originally from Ethiopia and completed her PhD @hopkinsmedicine, then pursued postdoctoral training @MITBiology, and is now a life science consultant strategist

Timing of integration into the chromosome is critical for the fitness of an integrative and conjugative element and its bacterial host

[Grossman Lab @Grossman_Lab]

Hi all! Dr. Saria McKeithen-Mead (@Sciria_) found that premature integration of an Integrative and Conjugative Element is harmful for its host and therefore is carefully regulated. Saria is now at Stanford in the Huang and Sonnenburg groups, stay tuned for her upcoming endeavors!

[@Saria McKeithen-Mead, PhD @Sciria_]

Curious about what leads to this dramatic phenotype in Bacillus subtilis?
In some my graduate work, I investigate the importance of regulating the timing of integration for a class of integrative mobile genetic elements here: https://t.co/9AOzgtqVE1 #hgt #microbiology

Happy to see the final version of this paper out in @Nature. Led by the incredible @tongzhang1109 and fantastic collaborators @gem__atkinson @hauryliuk and Abel Garcia-Pino. Started after serving as outside examiner for a student of Gem and Vasili's. 1/6

Dear all, happy new year! We’re excited to start this 2023 with awesome news! Olivia Orlik has joined our lab. She is an undergrad that will be working on phage biology 🧬
Welcome Olivia!

[Grossman Lab @Grossman_Lab]

Hi all, we are very excited to share the work from Dr. Saria (@Sciria_)! When an Integrative Element moves to a new host, the timing of its integration is *critical* for the sake of the element and its new host! Read all about Saria’s discoveries here! More coming soon!! 😉

[@Saria McKeithen-Mead, PhD @Sciria_]

Ever wonder how an integrative mobile genetic element knows when to integrate into the chromosome of a nascent host?
You can find out by reading a preprint from my graduate work where we show that sometimes bacterial sex kills. #microbiology
