Excited to keep working with our former summer PVAMU student Philip Lotaire to unravel the mechanisms used by #phage membrane proteins in breaching the bacterial cell envelope
Fighting antibiotic resistance through collaboration:
Dr. Jolene Ramsey (@TAMU_Biology) & Dr. Lori Banks (@PVAMU) join forces to study bacteriophages, the viruses that target bacteria! Read more about their research across both labs here: https://t.co/Mjpl4hPW5o
@TAMU_Biology is thrilled to start our collaborative project with @PVAMU supporting undergrad research in Genetics. Congratulate Dr. Harriette Howard-Lee Block, Dr. Deridra Vaden, @AlexCarlKeene, Asha Rao & institution colleagues on their $2M NIH Grant! https://t.co/qdEhFVCyE7
Bacteriophage, bacterial-infecting viruses, aka 'phages,' derived from 'phagein' ('to eat'), are ubiquitous companions to bacteria. From soil to the depths of Earth's crust, within plants, animals, and the vast oceans – they're everywhere.

Phage Phact Phriday!
Phages have unique structures; they consist of a protein coat surrounding their genetic material. This structure enables them to inject their DNA or RNA into bacterial cells, hijacking the host's machinery for replication.
Phage Phact Phriday!
Did you know… #Bacteriophage are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. It's estimated that there are more than 10^31 bacteriophages on the planet, far outnumbering any other type of organism, including #bacteria themselves.

Breaking news: Ramsey Lab Undergrads, Paige & Kaylyn unleash their inner phage-ninjas in their first ever poster presentation! Catch a glimpse of their infectious enthusiasm here! 🦠🔍 #PhageHunters#UndergradResearch#RamseyLab#BacteriaBusters
Howdy! The Ramsey Lab will open for #phage research in @TAMU_Biology at Texas A&M University summer 2022
@jrrmicro here excited to join excellent colleagues as an ACES Faculty Fellow and keep working with #Aggies in the lab and classroom #GigEm
