Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience from Igor Brodsky's lab @BrodskyIgor defends on Monday!!

[Research Trainee Affairs at Penn Medicine @RTAatPennMed]

Our next #WomenInSTEM highlight is Dr. Kellie Jurado @kelliejurado, Presidential Asst. Prof. in @PennMicro. Dr. Jurado’s lab is interested in uncovering immunobiological mechanisms that regulate immune responses in utero through early life. She shares why she enjoys mentoring

[Institute for Immunology and Immune Health (I3H) @UPenn_I3H]

Congratulations @BrodskyIgor, Robert R. Marshak Professor and Chair of the Department of Pathobiology, as the recipient of the 2023 Michael P. Nusbaum Graduate Student Mentoring Award.

[Rina Matsuda @RinaDoesScience]

It’s official: I'm defending my PhD thesis on April 10th at 1:30pm! It's been a long and exciting journey, looking forward to sharing my work and celebrating with you! The defense will be hybrid format, please message me for the link if you’d like to attend virtually.

[Igor Brodsky @BrodskyIgor]

Huge congrats to co-1st authors DanielSorobetea and @RinaDoesScience @CAMBUpenn on this lovely story out today @NatureMicrobiol in which we uncovered intestinal pyogranulomas forming acutely during Yersinia pseudotb infection! https://t.co/x3D6pswPxy

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

Who likes IL-18? @aaronmring designer agonists and cytokine biology? Joe Clark @IGAPenn and Orr-El Weizman (Yale) tease apart consequences of IL-18 signals in infection. This is a story that started 1995 when Kurimoto cloned IGIF! @CytokineSociety

[Boris Striepen @striepenlab]

Have a look at our new paper developing conditional gene excision in Cryptosporidium to study transcription factors and break parasite lifecycle progression. Great job Jayesh Tandel @DrKatelynWalzer and friends! @TrendsParasitol @pennbgs @pennvet https://t.co/yRtUsDsw3t

[Penn Microbial Pathogenesis & Genomics Trainees @PennMPG]

Congratulations to the incredible @SunnyShinLab on her election to the American Association of Microbiology!! A well deserved honor for an incredible person and scientist.

[Dr. Sunny Shin @SunnyShinLab]

I am so incredibly honored (and a bit in shock)! Many thanks to @jkagan1, @barton_lab, & @russellevance for nominating me & to my amazing lab members, past & present! Congratulations to all of the other fellows, it is truly an honor to be in your company! https://t.co/9MYc5C3GiX

#Influenza A infection may promote protection against Haemophilus influenzae #pneumonia via cross-reactive Th17 cells in this work from Michael Apt and colleagues @PennMedicine https://t.co/I8bP55tPvj

[Abt Lab @abt_lab]

The Abt lab has a Research Technician position opening this Summer. We are seeking an energetic graduating senior interested in immunity and microbiome research. Applicants can go to Careers @ Penn (JR00066297) to find out more!

[Boris Striepen @striepenlab]

Thanks to @brianne_roper & fellow students for organizing this parasitology student & postdoc centered forum for discussion & food & drink. See you there! @pennbgs @pennmpg @pennbpp

[Kohli Lab @KohliLab]

Curious to know more about the Kohli Lab and what we study? Watch this short video released by @BB_UPenn! https://t.co/gDLuXRlGQ3

[Penn Microbial Pathogenesis & Genomics Trainees @PennMPG]

To start, I want to share one of the coolest papers to come out in nature in years (I might be biased...) from microbiology student @Brokaryote from @joeyzacks lab! A terrific demonstration of top notch microbial pathogenesis and genomics research at Penn 🎉

[Joe Zackular @joeyzacks]

Really excited to share our labs first paper published today in @Nature. This work was led by the amazingly talented @Brokaryote, who found that enterococci enhance C. diff fitness and pathogenesis by metabolically remodeling the gut during infection. https://t.co/PGtmQIb8GX

[Penn Microbial Pathogenesis & Genomics Trainees @PennMPG]

Hello! This is my (our?) first tweet! Have a cool paper that you found? Want us to feature your lab or project or talk? We want to share all of the awesome happenings at Penn for microbiologists!! Please DM us and we're happy to share!
