Gilk lab at ASR 2024 American Society for Rickettsiology

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…

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 🙏

Congrats to Gilk Lab postdoc Ragendra Angara, for receiving the UNMC Postdoctoral Excellence in Research Award! Check out his beautiful story on a secreted bacterial protein which forms ER-lipid droplet contact sites, recently published in EMBO Reports. embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

The December issue is online: embopress.org/toc/14693178/2… The cover features work by Stacey Gilk Dr. Stacey Gilk UNMC College of Medicine identifying a novel #bacterial effector protein that mediates ER-LD #membrane contacts to regulate host #lipiddroplets. -> embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Our work featured on the cover of EMBO Reports 🎊🔬

We have a new review from Rajendra Angara, Margaret Sladek & Stacey Gilk Dr. Stacey Gilk (UNMC) about how intracellular pathogens parasitise the interface between lipid droplets and the ER journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… Their focus is on the differing strategies of SARS-CoV-2 and Coxiella

Happy Holidays !!! 🎉 #Gilklab
