Protection against C. diff by avirulent strain:
@sciissue_077 show avirulent C. difficile isolate ST1-75 outcompetes virulent C. difficile to protect mice from colitis, likely by depleting amino acids. ST1-75 has biotherapeutic potential for recurrent CDI

My lab at @GeiselMed has an open postdoc position in fungal metabolomics. We will combine isotope tracing, mass spectrometry data analysis, and mathematical modeling to understand metabolic rewiring in fungal cells. Research question depends on your interest. Please RT and apply!

Right at Christmas🎄! Our work looking at the long-term growth & evolution of C. diff in the context of human gut communities is out in @cellhostmicrobe https://t.co/6dgiTkNR9L Wouldn't be possible without the amazing co-authors @yili_qian @JerichaMill @JudithSimcox @oventurelli2

It’s crazy how talking with a science buddy is simultaneously what’s most likely to move the project forward and the thing that’s least prioritized in our schedule.

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.

Don't you want to find out why EBV transformed B cells have upregulated sphingolipid metabolism resulting in higher freq of lymphomas?

Or

How motility/surface attachment cross talks w/ quorum sensing in the gut pathogen Vibrio cholerae?

Go to these posters! #ABRCMS2024

[Liz Tan @Liz_Tansposon]

Excited for #ABRCMS2024! Be sure to say hi/stop by the Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Booth 1536 . There will be 4 cholera phage biologists 🧪 representing the Tufts campus in🫘 Bean-town, Boston, MA!!
