Incredibly honored to be part of the 2024 @SchmidtFellows cohort!
Sidenote- officially defended my PhD last week 🥳 Looking forward to pursuing new, exciting questions with interdisciplinary approaches in my postdoctoral studies (location tbd)
Ever wonder why drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is less fit than drug-susceptible Mtb? And how the bacterium can evolve to compensate for that cost?
Proud to share our work out now in @Nature https://t.co/W6ZCQEyLST! In an amazing collaboration w/ Liz Campbell & Maddie Delbeau @DarstCampbell we identify the/a source of the fitness cost of rifampicin resistance (RifR) in Mtb and how some compensatory mutations rescue the cost!
Proud of Barbara Bosch for being awarded the Sternberg Thesis Prize. Come hear her present her work at the 2023 Phages meeting: https://t.co/y5BvSjmu9y
These results lead us to name Rv3645 ‘MacE’ – for Major Adenylate Cyclase Enzyme. This name is inspired by @BobMackie, legendary camp fashion designer, notable for designing Cher’s iconic 1986 Academy Awards dress.

Excited to share our lab’s new pre-print, now out on @biorxiv_micrbio. https://t.co/mDjY599p1y “Mutations in rv0678 confer low-level resistance to benzothiazinone DprE1 inhibitors in M. tuberculosis” co-authored by @NickPoulton6@AzadianZack and @_mad_lab_
