Very excited to share this discussion with my friend Jake Zemer on the #microbiome and your health! He is an amazing fitness coach and trainer, check out his content on Instagram and YouTube. #microbiology youtu.be/vJGBaSvMZSs?si…

Always energizing to catch up with such a great and supportive crew!

New publication! Yujiro Hirose and our team from the ᐯIᑕTOᖇ ᑎIᘔET and Bernhard Palsson labs developed a #genome scale model a hyperinvasive strain of #streptococcus #pyogenes that will help guide future research and therapeutic strategies. #microbiology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

Last month I hosted the annual Symposium for our RESISFORCE Project here at OHSU News. We hosted 25 researchers from 🇳🇴🇧🇷🇮🇳🇨🇦🇯🇵🇺🇸 to share their research and build collaborations to address the global challenge of #AntimicrobialResistance. Thanks to Norges forskningsråd for funding!

First start-to-finish, completely in-house RNA-seq in our lab this month, what a time to be alive.

In Brazil this week at the Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba with my good friend Twilight of antibiotics to promote awareness of antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic stewardship. who.int/campaigns/worl…

A great week at FOP-UNICAMP! We brainstormed ways to get dentists involved in National Action Plans being implemented to combat antibiotic resistance (AMR), showed how to use sequencing to analyze AMR, and also practiced developing grant proposals with the students 🇳🇴🇧🇷🇺🇸

Happy to share that I was a Finalist for the OHSU 2024 Distinguished Faculty Award in Collaboration! Congratulations to the other finalists and winner, Dr. Lyndie Foster Page! linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Excited to speak at the University of Colorado School of Medicine this Friday! #microbiology

The Baker Lab was very well represented at OHSU School of Dentistry Research Day! I’m so proud of my team! #microbiology #dentistry

Tomorrow, 1:30pm. AADOCR in NYC. Honored to be a speaker alongside Drs. Jessica Mark Welch and mBio Editor in Chief Marvin Whiteley #microbiology #dentistry

Exciting news! Our very first hire, Jonah Tang, was accepted into and will be joining the Bioinformatics Graduate Program at the Univ. of Oregon! After 1.5 years in the lab, Jonah is an author on 3 submitted publications and several more in preparation. Congratulations Jonah!

New publication! Our findings reveal that the specificity of several FISH probes is compromised, with cross-species hybridization being more common than previously assumed. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/om…

I was interviewed by Business Insider magazine as part of an article about the impact of the oral microbiome on overall human health! #microbiology #dentistry businessinsider.com/oral-microbiom…

Congratulations to our high school intern, Daniela, and our Research Assistants, Matthew and Jonah, on publishing their pilot study on the impact of beetroot supplement on an in-vitro microbiome of e-cigarette users! #microbiology #dentistry tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

The Baker Lab at OHSU, Spring 2025. 🧬🔬🧫🦠 #microbiology

Excited to see this out! We identified a novel regulator of fatty acid composition in S. pneumoniae (among a lot of other cool stuff in the paper)!
