Cheering on Virginia Tech live from Tallahassee! Let’s go Hokies!!!!!

It's always a good day when the HokieBird visits, especially for members of the @jutraslab who took time to celebrate Biosafety and Biosecurity Month event, complete with an escape room, at Steger Hall.

Now online! A versatile CRISPR-Cas13d platform for multiplexed transcriptomic regulation and metabolic engineering in primary human T cells dlvr.it/T35n3V

Receiving a NoA for my F31 was a great way to start the weekend! Many thanks to everyone that supported me along the way, especially my amazing mentor, @jutraslab

Whoever is in charge of creating my Spotify daylists…. I just want to talk…

This week's new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine is out now! A pair of studies discovers a potential source of complications in Lyme disease and identifies a new antibiotic, microfluidic "smart" bandages manage chronic wounds in humans, and more. scim.ag/4lJ0xEz

🚨 HUGE NEWS from Bay Area Lyme Foundation! Two groundbreaking studies published in “Science Translational Medicine” reveal promising advancements in Lyme treatment and understanding chronic Lyme.

Peptidoglycans from the #LymeDisease pathogen #Bburgdorefi may act as antigens that trigger long-term complications such as Lyme arthritis by accumulating and persisting in the liver, according to a new study involving mice. @jutraslab Mecaila McClune scim.ag/4iJgoAw

Two new studies led by the @jutraslab have identified an antibiotic that cures #LymeDisease at a fraction of the dosage of the current "gold standard" treatment and discovered what may cause a treated infection to mimic chronic illness in patients. tinyurl.com/3eyknud
