It’s RARE for 3 good things to happen the same day - 1. My student Samuel Adeniyi Adeleye Ph.D.’s paper got accepted 🎉, 2. My other student Sangeevan Vellappan (Sangeev) won a poster prize 🎉, and 3. I received the 2024 Young Investigator Award at the NJ ASM Theobald Smith Society symposium 🎉 Happy Friday!

Do you like small proteins? Perhaps you need a general overview of their function. If so, check out our review (Rilee storzlab) - annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Amazing lab! Amazing mentor!

Thank you Microbiology Spectrum for this recognition!

Help please

Check out this new review from our lab @NCIResearchCtr, led by postdoc pavan silva ! We explore the varied mechanisms by which gene amplifications lead to antibiotic resistance @npjamr

New work this week expands scientific knowledge of the small proteins that coordinate stress responses in bacteria, such as #Ecoli, and suggests that cellular stress networks are more interconnected than was previously thought.

So excited that my brother and friend Sangeevan Vellappan (Sangeev)'s PhD work made it to Science! Congratulations to Yadavalli lab led by our vibrant PI : Srujana Samhita Yadavalli

So excited our antibiotic potentiation story is out Science Advances 🤩 Led by the extraordinary Manon Lang with Stéphane Renard,Didier Mazel +amazing collaborators Molly Ingersoll Imane El Meouche🦠 We believe it can make a difference in #AMR infections! 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

What are the roles of small proteins in #Ecoli? Using ribosome profiling, a team studies small proteins induced by magnesium starvation and show that one named YoaI activates a two-component system linked to osmotic stress response. Srujana Samhita Yadavalli scim.ag/3HEwnTT

Happy to share our new review 🦠: tRNA-modifying enzymes in bacterial stress adaptation royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
