@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

It has been equally amazing getting to work under an amazing PI like you; I would not be who I am today without you!

@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

@BcGSAVT I have written so many letters to apple telling them why we need one.

[Addie Hayes @akahayes98]

Excited to meet other researchers studying #syphilis at the #GRC here in Ventura, CA!

[Aaron Brock @aaronbrock_VT]

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

[VT Biochemistry @vtbiochem]

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!

[Aaron Brock @aaronbrock_VT]

So excited to present for @vtbiochem seminar tomorrow. Looking forward to some great conversation about Lyme disease!

[Mecaila McClune @MecailaM]

Happy Halloween from two knockout mice and a western blot! 🎃👻🐁

[VT_MCB @vt_mcb]

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

If you or someone you know are interested in a Bioinformatics/Data Science position at the NCBI (Bethesda, MD) please DM me! 😁

[Aaron Brock @aaronbrock_VT]

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

[Alexa Salsbury @asalsbur]

#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)!👩‍💻

[Aaron Brock @aaronbrock_VT]

@BlackInMicro I would love to be added!

[Aaron Brock @aaronbrock_VT]

@ckh2os Same to you! Hopefully we will get to see more of our fellow students when all of this calms down!

[Aaron Brock @aaronbrock_VT]

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!
