Join UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology today!

Had a fantastic time visiting the Department of Bacteriology at the UWisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology) as their Distinguished Lectures in Microbiology Seminar speaker. Huge thanks to the faculty and trainees for the warm welcome and engaging discussions! Tks Mark Mandel for hosting

Very interesting review from Wisconsin ADRC and the Rey Lab. Don't sleep on the gut-brain axis!

Thrilled to share that our project to rebuild ancient proteins has been awarded the W. M. Keck Foundation award! We will explore 3+ billion years of molecular diversity to uncover how nitrogenase endured Earth's shifting atmosphere and temperatures. (1) research.wisc.edu/uncategorized/…

Congratulations to Dr. Kerri Coon Kerri Coon on her Emil H. Steiger Distinguished Teaching Award! 12 faculty members were chosen to receive this year’s awards, an honor given out since 1953 to recognize some of UW–Madison's finest educators. news.wisc.edu/2025-distingui…

New report from the Pellett Lab on how botulinum neurotoxins can be produced at high levels in a stable form in C. tetani. This finding is expected to greatly facilitate purification of BoNTs and could aid in production of antitoxins. mdpi.com/2076-2607/12/1…

Very cool miniseries being put on by Wisconsin Institute for Discovery over the next few months on the gut-brain superhighway. It kicks off tonight, Jan. 16 with Vanessa Sperandio and Margaret (Maggie) Alexander, PhD (she/her) of UW-Madison MMI talking about Microbes, Addiction, and Immunity. eventbrite.com/e/crossroads-o…

Shout out to Miriam Guevara, research specialist in the Pellet Lab, on her recent poster award at the IBRCC! She presented her collaborative work with Jae-Hyuk Yu and Dasol Choi investigating the effects of a novel broad-spectrum antimicrobial on C. botulinum.

Congrats to Bacteriology undergraduate alum Eric Skaar .... the badger roots are strong in this one UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology Eric Skaar
