New #HinesLabUGA paper from Kingsley (Familyking)! Kingsley developed a really simple method to extract lipids from S. aureus! No need to separate two layers, and no need to dry down the extract before LC-MS! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We proudly welcome Dr. Victor J. Torres as chair of the newly formed St. Jude Department of Host-Microbe Interactions, which will focus on treating and preventing disease-causing infections in children. bit.ly/43Rrr3m Victor J. Torres

Thrilled to present Robbie Kuiack paper describing role of S. aureus fad genes in metabolizing palmitic acid. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mm… In absence of fad gene function, palmitic acid becomes toxic, including reduced viability in abscess model.

A postdoc position is available in my lab at UChicago to work on various aspects of (bacterial) cell biology using cryo-ET. Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]. Re-tweeting and spreading the word is highly appreciated. Thank you!

I am still processing the sudden loss of a great friend, mentor, and collaborator, Dr. Charles Rock. We had met for a regular research meeting only a few days before he passed. All was fine; I was bouncing ideas off him and being duly corrected, and we were making plans. 1/8

Closing out a great weekend at #2023MMPC with an awesome talk from Abby Kroken

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

Congratulations to Dr. Jessica Kelliher on her new Assistant Professor position in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee! She started out as postdoc in JD Sauer's lab in 2019 and has an excellent future ahead of her.

I'm very excited to share that my 1st author paper is now published in #mBio. Thanks to all the collaborative effort. We showed that the surface chaperone-PrsA2 can fold & sequester its substrate the pore-forming toxin-LLO and release it under acidic pH. doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

The next installment of the international conference on gram positive pathogens is here! Register now! See you in Omaha!

As a former trainee and current member of the faculty, I can say UIC Microbiology is a great place to study host-pathogen interactions! Apply for our open faculty position! University of Illinois Chicago University of Illinois College of Medicine uic.csod.com/ux/ats/careers…
