Happy to share my lab's new preprint on arginine & E. faecalis! So much great work has shown how Ef Arg metabolism impacts other bacteria & we hope this adds context for what Arg does directly to Ef. Thanks to Gary's lab for starting this & super tech Alex on his 1st paper!

Very excited to share that Uday @snowkaryote and I will be joining the Microbiology, Immunology, & Cancer Bio Dept UVA-MIC UVA School of Medicine as Assistant Professors this Fall! 🎉 My lab will study protein secretion in Gram-positive bacteria and its impact on host barriers & immunity.

Started & ended the week with great presentations from Amanda Haeberle, Alex, Emily, & Ruth 룻 Isenberg, PhD at #WindRiver2024! Thanks to the organizers for the opportunities & the focus on trainees. Super fun week of science & mountains! #proudPI

So excited to share that I have received an NoA for my K99 at @NIAIDFunding !! This award will support my continued research into Group B Strep pathogenesis in diabetic wound infection.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Lindsey Burcham @LindseyAtUTK for receiving a $1.82M NIH Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) for her groundbreaking research on the vaginal microbiome, impacting maternal, fetal, and pediatric health. micro.utk.edu/1-82-million-n…
