I am excited to share our recent review article! Explored antibiotic resistance trade-offs/collateral sensitivity, highlighting potential therapeutic strategies to tackle antibiotic resistance.

@RealDrJen Sure! Sounds cool!!

We currently have 4 job openings for Assistant Professors in our department. We are looking for a behavioral ecologist, a global change biologist, a microbial geneticist, and a developmental neurobiologist. https://t.co/a62mbGBlh9

[Wakeman Lab @wakemanlab]

@NeuroEllen Stephen is correct. There is a state policy here in Texas making evaluation of DEI statements illegal during the hiring process.

[Wakeman Lab @wakemanlab]

@Naikasanuchara We welcome all applications from anyone who believes their research to fit into one or more of these areas. Anyone who believes they could fill more than one of these roles is welcome to apply to more than one of these positions. So please do apply! :)

[Wakeman Lab @wakemanlab]

@AGungorAydin Definitely sorry to hear that your K99 wasn't funded but luckily not all universities require such things. I hope that you will consider applying to our department! https://t.co/aiUHDa2KiW

Another chapter of my dissertation is out on bioRxiv! Check out the new preprint and read more about the role of malonate in the physiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its niche adaptation @wakemanlab @MoamenElmassry

How do Pf phages dampen innate immunity to LPS within human cells? We report that phages carry outer membrane vesicles and dsRNA that trigger TLR3 and suppress inflammatory responses to LPS. https://t.co/pDp0tzqqGW… Congrats to Nina Pennetzdorfer, Medeea Popescu and the team

I always knew since my time in the @runtumblerun lab that Mg2+ is the key to everything that I care about. This proves it yet again!

[Yu-Ying Phoebe Hsieh @HsiehYp]

Excited to share our latest study on fungal-bacterial competition! What drives their competition and how does it impact microbial evolution? We found Mg2+ is the key. Grateful for my mentors’ support! (1/11) @HarmitMalik @ajai_dandekar @thehoganlab https://t.co/SEAc39Hihm

This program changed my life when I was an undergraduate student - this is the reason I became a researcher! I hope that all undergraduate students considering research for a career give this program serious consideration.

Excited to share our work using phages to identify bacterial pathogens in sepsis. Because phages are highly specific for their bacterial hosts, they offer strain-level resolution that could enhance cell free DNA diagnostics
