Thrilled & proud to share my 1st paper in Doudna Lab, co-led w/ Ben Rubin & Spencer Diamond of The Banfield Lab. Species-specific RNA-guided genome integration in microbial community to select targeted members+editing non-isolated microbes in complex community. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Almost up to the 100K goal! Please give a little if you can.

Under what conditions might filamentous phages promote the fitness of their bacterial hosts? We used a modeling approach to make some predictions in regards to antibiotic tolerance. Check out our preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hooray! Vertex Announces U.S. FDA Approval for TRIKAFTA® (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor and ivacaftor) in Children With Cystic Fibrosis Ages 6 through 11 With Certain Mutations finance.yahoo.com/news/vertex-an… via Yahoo

The subject of my research. In art form. Well done Dr Ellie Jameson Go team phage! @BollykyLab Sarah Elizabeth Smith Kevin Chen #phage

Love to see it 👋 #SicEm | #BUncommon

As 2021 comes to a close, I’ve had some time to reflect on my grad school experiences. Here are 10 nuggets of advice / lessons I’ve learned during PhD-land so far💡. A 🧵:

New year, new preprint! Do bacteria run away from antibiotics? No! We observed Pseudomonas aeruginosa twitching towards different antibiotics, amazingly they even reach concentrations far above lethal! What’s up with that? [1/6] biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lots of fun and some outstanding science at the Stanford Bio-X research day today! So excited to see Tony Chang and Maya Somers present their research on #phage and #cysticfibrosis in our lab this summer. Thanks Bio-X and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for making it possible.

We are seeking a postdoctoral research scientist to work on immunometabolism within the realm of host-pathogen interactions. Join our team! nature.com/naturecareers/…

📢 We are looking for a research associate with experience in handling phages to join our #Phage Foundry team at Berkeley, California. Please apply here: jobs.lbl.gov/jobs/research-…

The U.S. FDA approved 55 new drugs in 2023 💊 Of which, 5 were #antimicrobials 🧵⤵️ (1/6) nature.com/articles/d4157…

Got mucus? This sticky goo houses and shapes microbial communities throughout the body, from the gut to the lungs. How can scientists harness mucus-dwelling microbes to promote health? asm.social/1Ie

Pseudomonas partners with Pf phage to build biofilms and promote antibiotic tolerance. Here, we explore how. Congrats to Kevin Chen, Pam Cai Patrick R. Secor, Heilshorn Lab Andy Spakowitz Elizabeth B Burgener and a terrific team science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A picture is worth 1536 plaque assays. While we used a robot, we also tried a dirt-cheap 3D-printed alternative which works wonders at 384-density. I really believe this pre-print has the potentially to be the largest impact I will make on my field. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hey ChemE friends! I and my fellow Tirrell Lab mate Siyang will be at #AIChE2024 AND we're both on the faculty job market. Check out our posters (I'm at 103, Siyang at 375) and talks! See you soon in San Diego! #AIChEAnnual American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)

We are looking for a motivated and energetic post doc to work on our #research team at Children's Hospital LA on projects related to bacteriophage, antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial tolerance in #cysticfibrosis and chronic airway infection! lnkd.in/gkJyMYfD
