It's #PeerReviewWeek2024. @jvirology would like to thank and honor its many reviewers, especially these individuals who have reviewed ≥11 papers for the Journal of Virology in 2023. We are so grateful for your service to JVI.

Our paper out today @nature: phages reconstitute NAD+ to counter bacterial immunity Phaged invented a new biochemical pathway for NAD+ synthesis - including previously unknown enzymatic reactions - to evade bacterial defenses Congrats Ilya Osterman! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Great work! Congrats Jerry!

Delighted to share our work developing an mRNA vaccine for C. difficile, published today in Science Magazine. This study with The Drew Weissman Lab was co-led by two truly amazing scientists: Alexa Sem from the Zackular lab and Mohamad-Gabriel Alameh (now at CHOP Research)! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This is so cool! Congrats!!

Congrats!!@KNabukhotna

Leveraging Klebsiella PhageBank Ella Rotman Mark Mimee describe Klebsiella PhageBank for design of phage cocktails that suppress carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae in mouse gut. Phage-bacterial interactions shape bacterial virulence & phage host range cell.com/cell-host-micr…

This is really interesting work by my friend Daniel (Sangwoo) Park, postdoc fellow in Sarah Cobey explaining the real world patterns of how multiple strains of pathogens can (not) coexist. Beautiful merging of epidemiology and ecology coexistence theory! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited for #ABRCMS2024! Be sure to say hi/stop by the Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Booth 1536 . There will be 4 cholera phage biologists 🧪 representing the Tufts campus in🫘 Bean-town, Boston, MA!! Sweet microbiology shirt by Ashley Luo

Don't you want to find out why EBV transformed B cells have upregulated sphingolipid metabolism resulting in higher freq of lymphomas? Or How motility/surface attachment cross talks w/ quorum sensing in the gut pathogen Vibrio cholerae? Go to these posters! #ABRCMS2024

Meet Gregory Harrison (He/Him), our next Speaker Spotlight from the Environmental & Applied Microbiology Session. Hear more about Gregory's work on November 18 at our LGBTQ+ STEM Day Virtual Symposium🏳️‍🌈 🔬 Learn more & register here: forms.gle/kYKJKn1CaywBzJ… #PrideinMicrobiology

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.

🧪🧬 Pre-print of our CUT&RUN protocol is out NOW! The best tips & tricks for assay optimization used by our scientists, making it a key read for all #cutandrun users! > bit.ly/49HxHi8 #epigenetics #epigenomics #protocol #ngs #sequencing #chromatinmapping

It’s crazy how talking with a science buddy is simultaneously what’s most likely to move the project forward and the thing that’s least prioritized in our schedule.

Right at Christmas🎄! Our work looking at the long-term growth & evolution of C. diff in the context of human gut communities is out in Cell Host & Microbe cell.com/cell-host-micr… Wouldn't be possible without the amazing co-authors Yili Qian Jericha Mill Judith Simcox PhD Ophelia Venturelli

My lab at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth has an open postdoc position in fungal metabolomics. We will combine isotope tracing, mass spectrometry data analysis, and mathematical modeling to understand metabolic rewiring in fungal cells. Research question depends on your interest. Please RT and apply!

Calling all future faculty! Great news: we are bringing back the EquiSciTrack series with a fantastic lineup of generous new PIs. As before, we’ll be discussing major points of the application process. See flyer below for registration link/QR. We hope to see you there!
