This work was only possible because of my incredible lab mates, especially coauthors @Alliecott8087, @JocelynCRay, & @asya_smirnov - and most importantly, the outstanding mentorship of @AlisonCrissUVA! (10/10)

I’m excited to share our new PLOS Pathogens publication, “Neisseria gonorrhoeae co-opts C4b-binding protein to enhance complement-independent survival from neutrophils”, which was published online today! (1/10)

[Lacie Werner @LacieWerner]

Although C4BP has many diverse functions, this is the first time it has been shown to improve the survival of a pathogenic bacterium in a complement-independent manner. It will be interesting to see if this phenomenon occurs in other bacteria that are known to bind C4BP. (9/10)

@WIMS_UVA Looking forward to a great discussion!! And a reminder to read if you’re planning on joining! 😊

My lab can be giggling and having a blast while simultaneously kicking butt in their experiment. Some think being a scientist means you have to be serious and boring all the time but my lab is a perfect example that that is crap. We make science look enjoyable. 😂😎

@elwagner93 Excited for a productive and fun year with this amazing group!
