Faculty search! @YaleMicroPath is looking to hire assistant professor(s) focused on the pathogenesis of viral, bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infections. Info: https://t.co/bUb0Boc23C. Q&A webinar in Sept. Please RT!

@javid_lab Thank you, @javid_lab! Colleague = @jesssherica6, postdoc extraordinaire and fellow UCSF alum. Expect to see more from her in the future.

MmpL3, Wag31 and PlrA are involved in coordinating polar growth with peptidoglycan metabolism and nutrient availability https://t.co/lwFRqvZf9X #biorxiv_micrbio

@FreundlichGroup Thank you!

Another paper from the lab. The now Dr. Ng, @weilynnng , describes how the nucleoid associated protein, Lsr2, helps promote chromosomal mutagenesis in mycobacteria. https://t.co/mHmSnJQIbg

@javid_lab @lttlAFM Congratulations Babak and Alex et al!! Very cool work.

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

@HeranDarwin Awesome!!!

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

Lots of cool imaging went into this work (time-lapse 3D-SIM, biosensors, etc). It wouldn't have been possible without the efforts of Lin Shao @shaomumu who built our microscope, and made our analysis methods more robust and scalable.

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

Really excited about this work from the lab. @celenagwin, together with @Kuldeep_R_Gupta, worked to understand how mycobacteria create heterogeneity in growth. https://t.co/OIHGHOn4pP

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

This led to several surprising insights about the metabolism of mycobacteria at the single cell level. Specifically we show that the complexes that perform OXPHOS are spatially segregated from those that grow the bacterium. And metabolism changes as individual mycobacteria age.

@RaphaelPark7 Go, Raphael and team!!

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

@javid_lab Agreed!

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

Awesome opportunity to work with a great person!

Please RT!
We are recruiting!
Grant-funded positions to look at a) TB vaccine candidate development and b) TB antibiotic tolerance. Two SRA positions (links in next tweet).
Ideal candidate will be curious, hard-working and fun to collaborate with. Full training provided.

@chaaawie @NatureMicrobiol Congratulations, Charlie and team! A beautiful story showcasing the power of live cell imaging. 😀

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

@SkyeFishbein7 Thanks, Skye!

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

Really excited and proud of this work out of our lab. https://t.co/jOSqkCOowe.

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

Studying a protein of unknown function is not for the faint of heart. We had many misdirections along the way, and there is still much to discover. Most importantly, we had loads of help from amazing collaborators: @ymoritalab, @JunLiuLab, and Ben Swarts' lab at CMU.

[Hesper Rego @Rego_Lab]

@Kuldeep_R_Gupta, working together with @celenagwin, discovered that a protein of unknown function in mycobacteria (PgfA) is recruited to one side of the cell by our favorite protein LamA, where it coordinates lipid trafficking and fast polar growth
