Donuts with my Gilk Lab pals AND my stubborn cloning project gave me colonies today, what a wonderful birthday celebration!

❤️

Excited to share that our preprint on novel Coxiella effector protein, CbEPF1, has now been accepted in EMBO reports! embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Big thanks to all 3 reviewers for their constructive feedback, which helped us add new insights into LD localization signals and evidence for ER-LD contacts during Coxiella infection

Check out the great work by very talented Rajendra Angara Ph.D..

Beautiful work Rajendra Angara Ph.D. from the Gilk Lab! Congratulations!

Congratulations to our talented post-doc Rajendra Angara Ph.D. on winning the Postdoctoral Excellence in Research Award 🥇 🙌 🎉 and Dr. Stacey Gilk on winning the Best Mentor Award.

What a dynamic duo - Dr. Stacey Gilk, UNMC Pathology, Microbiology & Immunology professor, and Dr. Rajendra Angara, postdoc in her lab! So proud of you both and well deserved.

Honored to be the recipient of UNMC Postdoctoral Excellence in Research Award. Huge thanks to my incredible mentor Dr. Stacey Gilk for her unwavering support and guidance. This wouldn’t have been possible without you 🙏
