I’m looking to host a postdoc in our lab to use proteomics to discover and characterize phage receptors.
Strong fit if you have experience in MS based proteomics and an interest in infection biology.

Recoded Bacteriophage Genome for Bio-Orthogonal-Enabled Concentration and Detection of E. coli in Drinking Water Modern genome editing methods permit the flexible modification of organisms at the genome level. However, bacteriophages, despite their small genomes, pose unique challenges due to the need to edit du...

At long last I get to share this publication from my PhD. We created click chemistry enabled phage-magnetic nanoparticles via a recoded T7 genome. Read about it in @acs.org Synthetic Biology

Use of Real-Time Quantitative PCR for the Analysis of φLC3 Prophage Stability in Lactococci | Applied and Environmental Microbiology ABSTRACT Bacteriophages are a common and constant threat to proper milk fermentation. It has become evident that lysogeny is widespread in lactic acid bacteria, and in this work the temperate lactococ...

Never had to do it but time course qPCR, plaque assays and/or amplicon sequencing seems like the way to go

Amazing work!

Full Circle Native symposium flyer. It includes a Logo, the date of the event (April 3-4 2025), and confirmed speakers: Casey Dorr (Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute), Rebecca Pollet (Vassar College), Kat MIlligan-McClellan (University of Conneticut), Krystal Tosie (Arizona State University), Lauren W Yowelunh McLester-Davis (UW Madison). It also includes that text: The goal of the “Full Circle” symposium is to create an opportunity for North American Native and Indigenous, Native Hawaiian, and Alaskan Native scientists to share their research, meet other scientists, and build community. The symposium will take place over two days at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in San Francisco. We will have talks from students, postdocs, and faculty and panel discussions on Native and Indigenous topics in the context of research. It also contains a QR code that links to: https://forms.gle/AN7nfkhdB3Fvdkkm7

We will be hosting 3rd Full Circle Symposium for Native Biologists hosted at UCSF in April 2025! We aim to build community and provide meaningful opportunities for Native scientists. If you are a Native biologist who is interested plz fill this out to stay up to date: forms.gle/AN7nfkhdB3Fv...
