Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) outreach at Discovery Place today. We had 217 visitors at our booths today. We will continue to educate the public about bats and immunology

At Discovery Place every 3rd Saturday of the month. #BITE #teamraw #rawlab

Great job team!

Thank you!

Send me an email . I think we can help

Well, how can we help you?
My lab specializes in making code easy to use for all. Also, we love phages. Send me a message.

We’re happy to announce Dr. Lennard Stach!! 🥳🥳 Well done Lennard for a brilliant defense and thesis!! We will miss you!
Finally, thank you @leeselab.bsky.social for sitting in the thesis committee! 🫶

Congratulations to Andra and Stephanie, master’s students in the lab, whose manuscript has been accepted for publication in Nature NPJ Viruses.

Their study reports the multiomic characterization of the largest bacteriophage maintained in culture.

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) outreach. 591 visitors at our booths today.

This month we just crossed over 6,000 local Charlotte visitors to our booths since October 2024!

Great job team!

Tenure dossier submitted

The mcp and TerL protein still are so divergent. Especially mcp. We need to characterize them better. The unknown unknowns escape us still. Phage G still has 65% or 390 predicted proteins without known function.

Thanks for the reference brother. Great looking advancement!

I would love to do a YouTube show with you on stromatolites/microbialites, origin of life on Earth, and the search for life beyond Earth. Let me know if you game for such a show?

Well done video. Thanks for the shout out to microbialites/stromatolites. They are our favorites!! We work on the modern ones all over the world.

Glad Science retracted the Arsenic life paper.

Brilliant work by Rosie Redfield and others showed this study had issues 15 years ago.

Great job team!

Missing TJ. I have to add him in later for the special edition directors cut

RAW Lab picture day! Summer 2025
Thank you @morgancarterphd.bsky.social for the photo.
Missing TJ but it is what is. #teamraw #rawlab

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) at Discovery Place today. Around 366 visitors at our booths today. We will continue to educate the public about bats, rodents, infectious diseases, and immune responses.

Lots of secondary metabolite clusters, a plasmid that appears to be lost or transferred, weird ANI boundaries, something for everyone!

We were also lucky that our neighbors in the @raw937.bsky.social lab looked for prophage in these endosymbionts. Did not think they would be there but they are!

New from the Carter Lab!

Led by @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social, we sequenced almost twice as many complete genomes as were available for the endofungal Mycetohabitans genus.

Unsurprisingly, they are a little weird, giving us insight into endosymbiotic genome changes 🧬 🦠

You're welcome! Great PI, great lab, and cool system 😎
We are super happy to find our lovely phage as another layer of complexity in this tripartite system. #carterlab #rawlab

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) at Discovery place today. A busier day today with 375 visitors at our booths. We will continue to educate the public about bats, rodents, infectious diseases, and immune responses.

Bat Immunological Training Education (BITE) at Discovery place on Saturday. A slow day, only 232 visitors. We continue to educate the public about bats, rodents, infectious diseases, and immune response.

At Discovery place every 3rd Saturday of the month.

Thank you Mike Cove and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to host Bat Immunology Training Education (BITE) outreach. We had over 256 people visitors to our booths with preparation of samples.

We will be at NCMNS in Raleigh (our state capital) four times a year (quarterly).

H5N1 bird flu mutates to better hijack human cells, new UNC Charlotte study shows | Newswise The latest CIPHER research on H5N1 viral lineages could have major implications for vaccine development.

Some phages of Streptomyces are polyvirulent.

Some are specialists but are generalists. Rarely if at all do they cross phyla or class.
