Our latest step towards establishing a field microbiome in the lab. Here we show that cryopreserved microbiomes from mosquito larval habitats can be stored and reconstituted in the lab. The resulting microbiomes are remarkable consistent too👍 Nice work Kerri Coon & Serena

Follows on from our microbiome transplantation work. 🦟🦠➡️🧪➡️🦟🦠 You can check that out in the thread here 👇 x.com/mosquitomicrob…

.Beneficial Microbes Meeting #BeneficialMicrobesMtg looking for a postdoc interested in discovering and culturing creosote-degrading microbes from woodrats. Email me if you are interested in this cool project. 🐭🦠

Huge congrats to all of the new fellows and advisers! Can’t wait to be reunited with @aldoaarellano after his internship DermBiont, Inc. this summer. Give your students the space to explore career options, folks. It’ll only make all the science better!

It’s a happy (and sunny) day here in Madison! Huge congrats to Holly Nichols for passing her prelims with flying colors!!!

My lab website is live!! thelewinlab.com Next up: recruiting some awesome people so I'm not the only one on the lab members page 😂

One thing I remember hearing a lot before becoming faculty is how little power junior members have to affect meaningful change at their institutions and how this kind of work must be put on the back-burner until tenure. As a new junior faculty member, I 100% disagree. A brief 🧵

Come and work with me at the University of Wisconsin-Madison! The Dept. of Plant Pathology is looking for a Nematologist at the Assistant OR Associate level. The research area is open. Applications are encouraged from citizens of any nation. jobs.hr.wisc.edu/en-us/job/5155…

Job alert! Since our brilliant Vish Dhokiya is off to new adventures with a PhD scholarship LSTM (congratulations again!! 🥳); Laura E Brettell Grant Hughes 🦟🦠 @mosquitomicrobe .bsky.social and myself will be recruiting for a research assistant in Liverpool LSTM! (1/3)

Applications for the assistant professor position in UW-Madison MMI should be submitted by this Tuesday (November 15) to receive full consideration. We have supportive faculty with fantastic students across many graduate programs on campus! jobs.hr.wisc.edu/en-us/job/5149…

Beyond proud of my amazing MDTP students Holly Nichols, Andrew Sommer, and @aldoaarellano for their hard work and incredible talks at ESA this year! ❤️🦟🥳

When we swap their microbiomes, what do the mosquitoes actually think about that?? Take a look at our new preprint; congratulations Shivanand Hegde Laura E Brettell Shannon Quek Miguel Saldaña Kayvan Etebari @SassanAsgari Kerri Coon Grant Hughes 🦟🦠 @mosquitomicrobe .bsky.social biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We took microbiomes from different 🦟species from the lab/field and transplanted into Ae. aegypti -> they responded similarly when the 🦠🦠were from lab donors -regardless of 🦟species, but far more changes to gene expression when using a field donor -pretty cool I reckon😀

The latest instalment in our journey to create mosquitoes with designer microbiomes!! 🦟🦠🧪 “A cryopreservation method to recover laboratory- and field-derived bacterial communities from mosquito larval habitats” Great work Serena & @Mosmicrobes! journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…
