The last day of UMBC #SEAPHAGES wetlab is done. After >7000 plates & tubes of top agar: 61 Streptomyces phages isolated by 120 undergraduate researchers, 61 phages images by TEM, 53 successful digestion panels run on 64 agarose gels, 11 Strep hosts tested UMBC Biology phagesdb

First day of our new Bioinformatics class! Woot woot! Let's annotate some genomes! #Bioinformatics #uofo #SEAPHAGES #sculptingyoungminds

Great day annotating genome LouisXIV with four high schools! Univ. of the Ozarks Billy Biederman

Our exciting new paper, out today in Nature Medicine, describes the first-ever clinical use of engineered phages to treat an antibiotic-resistant infection in a person. Graham Hatfull nature.com/articles/s4159…

Meet Muddy, BPs, and ZoeJ! These little guys are bacteriophages, microscopic bacteria-infecting viruses that live in the dirt, water, and air. These three were discovered by college students and were just used in an experimental treatment: bit.ly/2JcSsJc

The HHMI SEA-PHAGES program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to perform real science and hunt for phages. Now, the phage collection program has helped treat a patient with a drug-resistant bacterial infection. bit.ly/2Ja2lHH

Brilliant, passionate, energetic with purpose. The HHMI #sea-phages students & faculty rock! HHMI | Janelia Scott Michael Graham Hatfull

Had a great #seasymp2019 with great keynote speakers and excellent student phage research. Our very own Gracie did an excellent job!

Found both phages using the electron microscope at UAMS. Magnified only 80,000X 😂 Univ. of the Ozarks phagesdb

Phage peeps: What are some good lab suggestions for a prospective grad student who wants to do phage ecology, phage - host interactions, or phage - phage interactions. Bench or Bioinformatics or both. What if you wanted to give someone a list of say, five?

This pseudo-colorized image of Streptomyces phage WheeHeim from our new paper doi.org/10.3390/v11121… was made by Dr. Tagide deCarvalho UMBC CNMS, you can find more of her amazing images here: instagram.com/nerd.candy/. phagesdb UMBC Biology #SEAPHAGES science and art.

Wait for it. Wait for iiiiit. BOOM! 🎆 Add ampicillin to bacteria cells and you get (very tiny) explosions – and number 8 on our most-read list: bit.ly/36WtANL #HHMI2019

In our 6th most-read story this year, HHMI Professor Graham Hatfull’s team University of Pittsburgh demonstrated the first safe and effective use of engineered bacteriophages in a human patient: bit.ly/2Q5EXfp #HHMI2019

#HHMI2019: Muddy, BPs, & ZoeJ (left to right below) were the subjects of our 6th most-read story of 2019. These bacteria-infecting viruses (found with the HHMI SEA-PHAGES program!) were used to treat a drug-resistant infection in a 15-year-old girl: bit.ly/2PLSNF3

“One of the things people worry about a lot is what’s going to happen in six months or a year. Are individuals who’ve recovered from #COVID19 still going to be protected?” A new study provides a preliminary answer to that question. bit.ly/2IANBCu

Researchers don’t understand why people taking cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins tend to do better if they get #COVID19. New research from the brangwynnelab suggests it may be because #SARSCoV2 needs cholesterol to get into cells: bit.ly/36517az

Finally got this published! Took a minute but I am proud of these undergraduates (now graduate students). bioone.org/journals/bios/…

Had an amazing time representing HHMI SEA-GENES at #Phages2022! So proud of Isabel Amaya for her poster presentation and thrilled to see so many old and new phage friends!
