NoA day is also the day to announce we have postdoc positions open! Are you interested in the role of microbiota-host metabolic interactions in infectious and non-communicable diseases and in working with a group of diverse (and fun!) scientists? Then come join us!

The next round of Jane Coffin Childs Postdoctoral Fellowships opens on October 10th, 2022 with a deadline of noon EST on February 1st, 2023. 🧵 1/

Out today, our lab's first publication! A review on "Mobile genetic elements in 𝘈𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳 antibiotic resistance acquisition and dissemination" by PhD candidate Hannah Noel and PREP scholar Jessie Petrey. Open access link: doi.org/10.1111/nyas.1…

Really excited to share our labs first paper published today in nature. This work was led by the amazingly talented Alex Smith, who found that enterococci enhance C. diff fitness and pathogenesis by metabolically remodeling the gut during infection. nature.com/articles/s4158…

I’m excited to announce that I will be joining UChicago Department of Microbiology as an Assistant Professor this Fall! My lab will explore how nosocomial pathogens are transmitted, with a focus on the mechanisms (bacterial and host) driving spread of Acinetobacter in hospitals.

Erin is a great friend and tremendous scientist - be on the lookout for amazing things!

Back for more science! Dr. Zachary Lonergan Zach Lonergan from Caltech uses isotope geochemistry tools to differentiate between metabolic pathways in bacterial infections. Interesting talk spanning chemistry to microbiology!

I’m thrilled to share that I will be joining @YaleMedin the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis YaleMicroPath and the Yale Microbial Sciences Institute as an assistant professor. The Pi lab will open doors this September on the beautiful Yale West Campus.

Excellent end to #GRCMAST! Carrie Shaffer Zach Lonergan Erin Green Will Beavers, PhD and Marty! Looking forward to the next one!

My lab at UChicago Department of Microbiology is hiring! We are looking for a research tech to work with us studying mechanisms of bacterial stress response and pathogenesis. Would be a great opportunity for recent college grads looking for research experience. Please spread the word! Links below

Sean Callahan, PhD and I are co-chairs for the 2024 GRS on Microbial Toxins and Pathogenicity. We started reviewing applications so get started and apply early! Please, include abstracts to be considered for acceptance. grc.org/microbial-toxi…

Our first research paper from the Palmer lab led by Hannah Noel is out in mBio! tinyurl.com/2s3urau4 We show the essential glycan carrier Und-P and the Mla system synergize for the A. baumannii cell envelope. This project started with a surprise from ATCC... a 🧵

On our way to start the #GRCToxPath Seminar! Can’t wait to connect with such an outstanding group of trainees. Sarah Price Zach Lonergan Kara Eichelberger

Skaar lab (Eric Skaar) past and present photo from #GRCToxPath! What a fantastic meeting! Amazing science and amazing people! Thank you Mary O'Riordan and Victor J. Torres for organizing and for Dr. Valeria M. Reyes Ruiz and Sean Callahan, PhD for running the GRS! Excited for 2026!
