@aaronbrock_VT presented his research at #ASMicrobe2022. His research examines the structure and biosynthesis of peptidoglycan in Borrelia burgdorferi and how motility may organize that biosynthesis. This information could lead new therapeutic targets for Lyme disease. @jutraslab
@aaronbrock_VT using AFM to image PG of Borellia. Poles are 2-3 times thicker. How and why new poles generated by cell division get thicker? Fla motor mutants lack polar PG and are uniform in thickness. Awesome preliminary data! #ASMicrobe
Some amazing people at my 1st big conference convinced me to make a twitter, so here I am. I think a lot of us had no idea how much we were missing out on during the COVID19 pandemic, but I can’t wait follow the development of all this awesome research! #GRC#BiologyofSpirochetes
Day 2 of the GRS #biologyofspirochetes is in full swing! Looking forward to getting to share my work on how motility regulates peptidoglycan synthesis in Borrelia burgdorferi
Join us today (either in Engel 223 or via Zoom) at 4 PM for a presentation on the Regulation of Peptidoglycan Synthesis in the Causative Agent of Lyme Disease from biochemistry PhD candidate @aaronbrock_VT! 👨🔬
Email Holly Cromer ([email protected]) to be added to our Canvas site!
Interesting new work from MCB student Aaron Brock!
A simple method to detect Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato proteins in different sub-cellular compartments by immuno… https://t.co/eC68jFPoIY
So happy to announce that I passed my preliminary exam, making me a doctoral candidate in @vtbiochem ! I’m so excited to keep doing better and improving my skills
#CompChem#DNA#RNA tweeps, check out our new paper in COSB! Note: we annotated a handful of 🔥 papers published in the last 2 years!
If you have any questions, my DMs are open & if you like the work or know someone who does, I'll be looking for positions soon (Summer 2021)!👩💻
It's #BlackInChemWeek ✌🏾today is #blackinbiological
I’m Aaron, a PhD student at @vtbiochem in @jutraslab! I use biochemistry/genetics to study my favorite protein FtsZ! I study the causative agent of Lyme disease and how it grows and divides!
Thanks @onlyayanna_ for this event!
