Very happy to share our new work about the newly identified SopA protein and its role in the control of type IV pili formation. Paper is now online DOI: 10.1128/jb.00108-24

Here is our new landmark paper on P. aeruginosa evolution in human lung organoids under antibiotic exposure. Congrats to Lucas A. Meirelles and thanks to Evangelia Vayena and the real LCSB for the beautiful metabolic modeling. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Happy and proud to see this paper online! We resolved the in-situ architecture of the P. aeruginosa Type IV pilus machine and discovered the localisation and role of PilY1. Great collaboration with Jun Liu Lab Lori L. Burrows Brun Lab @PLynneHowell . nature.com/articles/s4146…

Here is a video that summaries the key findings! Once again, special thanks to my wonderful mentor Jun Liu Lab at Yale School of Medicine YaleMicroPath. Lots more discoveries to come at McGill Medicine and Health Sciences Anatomy&CellBiology CRBS McGill !
