17 years ago my scientific career started in this building.

Thanks to @KVBortle for hosting me this week for a seminar in Cell & Developmental Biology @UofIllinois.

Was a fabulous walk down memory lane.

👏Congrats to Sanfilippo lab of @mcb_Illinois on their new grant!

Human pathogens undergo complex environmental dynamics during infection, yet traditionally they’ve been studied in simplified experimental systems.

[U of I School of Molecular and Cellular Biology @MCB_Illinois]

“By providing mechanistic insight into bacterial processes in dynamic host-relevant environments, our work will lay a solid foundation for innovative advances in the treatment of bacterial infections.”
—Dr. Joe Sanfilippo
