Interested in how enterococci utilize heme? In this review, @josealemos and I describe the known hemoproteins of E. faecalis and the uneven distribution of these proteins amongst the other enterococci. #FEMSmicroBlog https://t.co/ZgmqinNQKC
Congratulations to @BradySpencer12, PhD, assistant professor in the Dept. of Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology, for receiving a 2-year, $250,000 @NIH-NIAID Career Transition award to study streptococcus and its role in immune responses. https://t.co/plvSYwi6GZ
Coming to the Minnesota State Fair today? Stop by the Driven 2 Discover research building and help us Swish for Science! (gather Enterococcus from the oral cavity)
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Lindsey Burcham @LindseyAtUTK for receiving a $1.82M NIH Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) for her groundbreaking research on the vaginal microbiome, impacting maternal, fetal, and pediatric health. https://t.co/njeDaPzie4
So excited to share that I have received an NoA for my K99 at @NIAIDFunding !! This award will support my continued research into Group B Strep pathogenesis in diabetic wound infection.
Started & ended the week with great presentations from @HaeberleAmanda, Alex, Emily, & @RuthlessRuth15 at #WindRiver2024! Thanks to the organizers for the opportunities & the focus on trainees. Super fun week of science & mountains! #proudPI
Very excited to share that Uday @snowkaryote and I will be joining the Microbiology, Immunology, & Cancer Bio Dept @UVA_MIC@MedicineUVA as Assistant Professors this Fall! 🎉 My lab will study protein secretion in Gram-positive bacteria and its impact on host barriers & immunity.
Happy to share my lab's new preprint on arginine & E. faecalis! So much great work has shown how Ef Arg metabolism impacts other bacteria & we hope this adds context for what Arg does directly to Ef. Thanks to Gary's lab for starting this & super tech Alex on his 1st paper!
I am very excited to share that my recent review paper "Therapeutic approaches to enhance natural killer cell cytotoxicity," has been published! Take a look here: https://t.co/dqWm90Z47E
