Emily Mevers (Mevers Lab), assistant professor of chemistry with Virginia Tech Science, received a five-year, $1.9 million grant from NIH that aims to leverage the microbiomes of marine egg masses for the development of next-generation antibiotics to treat emerging pathogens. (1/3)

Fun evening with the the trainees in the Mevers and Lowell labs. Axe throwing is a bit more challenging than we thought it would be but so much fun!

Amazing first day of ASP2023! Three amazing talks by Virginia Tech Chemistry graduate students - Lois Kyei, Benjamin T. Blackburn and Cole Gannett - and posters by Karla, Paige, Zak, Carla, and Group Lowell. Wonderful science with a fun group! Excited for the rest of the week!

Check it out…Our group’s second publication of the year is online! Congrats Lois Kyei on her first first author publication from grad school. Awesome job by all co-authors. @CarlaMenegatti Karla Piedl and Ellie Miller | J. Nat. Prod. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out another one of our open access paper. This one was a real team effort with contributions from Millipede Lab, @ImperfectFunGuy, and Tappey Jones. Congrats Paige Banks on the first, first author publication and to all involved! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Karla gave a wonderful talk on her work aimed at identifying the core microbiome of Moon Snail Egg Masses on the last day of the SIMB meeting in Boston. Preprint of her work: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Super excited to share our 4th paper of 2024 that examined the microbial composition of moon snail egg collars. Congrats Karla Piedl and thank you Frank Aylward for collaborating with us. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp… Virginia Tech Chemistry

Animals rely on microbes for protection, with moon snail egg collars showing potential for new medical discoveries. #Microbiome Mevers Lab journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…
