That's a wrap for #ICRS2026! The Ushijima Lab was well represented and had a great time sharing our research on coral pathogens and probiotics (& our stickers)! Until next time!

Excited to share the results on our probiotics that are able to protect corals from deadly tissue loss lesions caused by Vibrio coralliilyticus! The first of their kind!

Our latest paper on how the coral microbiome affects resistance to different Vibrio coralliilyticus strains, while also suggesting some regulatory proteins are for defense vs offense.

Check out this new publication from our lab! We provide detailed methods for preparing and imaging coral tissue for transmission electron microscopy.
If you ever need to know how to obtain excellent micrographs of coral tissue using transmission electron microscopy, look no further! Here is the solution for you: currentprotocols.onlinelibra…

Ph.D. student Liz Weatherup is presenting her research at the international #Vibrio2024 conference today! She has a poster on the role of metabolism & novel genetic regulators in the pathogenesis of the coral pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus.
Come see us at the Femme in STEM event!! See our Instagram (ushijimalab) for more updates!
Check out the @UshijimaLab members @erin_papke @c_shortal and Liz at the NC Aquarium today for FEMME in STEM and learn about coral microbes!

If you’re interested in a fully-funded 2-year postdoc, living at the beach and working on antibiotic discovery from coral associated bacteria, consider applying for this with @VibrioSoup and me. DM me or Blake if interested!
A great opportunity! If you are interested in marine microbes (coral-associated or otherwise) and natural products chemistry for your postdoc then @WS_DISCOveryNP and I would be interested in chatting!

Ever wondered how #Vibrio coralliilyticus causes disease in corals and other marine animals when the ocean gets hot? In this new work, we uncover #T6SSs as an important virulence factor.

In our lab's latest publication, we explored the genus Pseudoalteromonas and their tricky taxonomy. This is a prelude to our upcoming work on our new coral probiotic species! Stay tuned!

Let's take a break from doomscrolling. Does anyone have any positive notes about social media?
Doing some casual research for ASM Microbe on how social media can be used to improve morale about academia? Any tips? Comments?
