Lab lunch to welcome our two DBBS rotation students this fall, Haina Jin and Caelan Miller!
September 2023
The lab is awarded an NIAID New Innovators DP2 award!
July 2023
This five year award will fund our work on how phage defense pathways alter phage-bacterial specificity in the opportunistic pathogen P. aeruginosa! We will ultimately use this information to create phage with altered (expanded!) host range.
The lab is awarded a Washington University interdisciplinary seed grant!
June 2023
This one year award will fund an exciting collaboration between our lab and the lab of Dr. Courtney Reichhardt to investigate phage-biofilm interactions at a mechanistic level.
