Another very cool story from the Pinho's lab. A good paper to discuss in our journal club.

At Staph GRC: today's morning session was entirely led by women scientists👍 #StaphGRC

We just updated our large database of PhD fellowships. For each of the 190 entries, we provide description of the fellowship, link, amount, deadline, and eligibility criteria (e.g. citizenship). Downlonad this database here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…

Very inspiring for female and mom scientists. Tremendous perseverance!! Focus on the things you can change! Katalin Karikó – Interview nobelprize.org/prizes/medicin…

A lot to celebrate in our lab this week! Sal successfully passed oral exam! Ran got the 1st prize oral presentation at FLASM meeting! I'm so happy especially for Ran, as oral presentation has been very challenging for her. She worked so hard and now here is the prize! #proudPI

The latest preprint from the lab is up. Here we asked how the cell responds when pilus biogenesis goes off the rails in E. faecalis. 😱 Come for the chaperone/protease action, stay for the WEIRD morphologies & two component system induction. 👇

We advocate that early-career researchers should publish their good work in society journals to shape the future of scientific publishing.

Check out our recent editorial (direct link below). Thanks to Stephen Stephen Dolan and Lori! It was a pleasure to work with you together! Why should early-career scientists publish in society journals | mBio journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Welcome our new lab members, postdoc Dipa and undergrad Quinn! Time to take a new group photo on this beautiful sunny day!

The best gift ever for Mother's day: the arrival of my little cutie 🥰

So excited to announce our new method for multiplexed RNA imaging in bacterial cells: bacterial-MERFISH! A huge congratulations to the team of Ari Sarfatis, Yuanyou Wang, and Nana Twumasi-Ankrah! Check out the following thread or our bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) 1/12

Very excited to share our latest preprint: a breakthrough in surface protein trafficking that we've studied for a long time. Perhaps more important is, the beauty of synchronized cell envelope biogenesis.

SpsB is more than a signal peptidase! I'm excited of the findings in this paper and proud of the work from our team!

Latest preprint from our lab: Mis-localization of PBPs in Staphylococcus aureus gdpP mutant contributes to β-lactam resistance and surface protein cross-wall trafficking biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
