"Easy come, easier go: mapping the loss of flagellar motility across the tree of life" 🌱🔬 We analysed ~11,000 bacterial genomes to examine how flagellar motility has evolved 🏊‍♂️➡️🛑 UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences UNSW Science biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This work was led by #PhD student Jamiema Sara Philip, supported by HFSP w/ Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences contributions from Luke McNally Nick Matzke Caroline Puente-Lelievre Jacob Scadden, – and initially started as an undergrad UNSW Engineering proj. w Sehhaj Grewal.

"Rescue of bacterial motility using two and three-species FliC chimeras" In this pre-print out we studied the effect of flagellin (FliC) outer domain chimeras on bacterial motility. UNSW Science UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Bowling 🎳 w/ UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences and our lab for end of year 🎉🍕🍻. Fun bowl-off which our lab lost. Eerie to be inside in the dark then exit after a few VBs to blazing ☀️🌞 32C. Shout out to HoS Shane Grey & School Mgr Michael Bowen leading us on and off the lanes. #buckhunter also.

Grateful to have contributed to a study led by Feifei Su UNSW, exploring how NEGR1 deficiency affects GAD65 accumulation, synaptic GABA synthesis, and feeding behavior. NEGR1 influences GABAergic signaling, with potential links to psychiatric disorders. [bit.ly/3OYqDnQ]

Exciting times in the #RegRNALab! We just got our growth chamber 🌱. Getting ready for our #2ToTango #FT24 Australian Research Council experiments!!! Thanks to the UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences team for all your help setting it up and UNSW RNA Institute for the generous startup + ongoing support! #RNA
