Glad to see that the 2nd piece is out! Thanks to all the reviewers, collaborators and coauthors! @fortierlc @ShenLabTufts @SophieSeulESon @yingeddi2008
Protection against C. diff by avirulent strain:
@sciissue_077 show avirulent C. difficile isolate ST1-75 outcompetes virulent C. difficile to protect mice from colitis, likely by depleting amino acids. ST1-75 has biotherapeutic potential for recurrent CDI

Calling all future faculty!
Great news: we are bringing back the EquiSciTrack series with a fantastic lineup of generous new PIs.
As before, we’ll be discussing major points of the application process.
See flyer below for registration link/QR. We hope to see you there!

My lab at @GeiselMed has an open postdoc position in fungal metabolomics. We will combine isotope tracing, mass spectrometry data analysis, and mathematical modeling to understand metabolic rewiring in fungal cells. Research question depends on your interest. Please RT and apply!

Right at Christmas🎄! Our work looking at the long-term growth & evolution of C. diff in the context of human gut communities is out in @cellhostmicrobe cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f… Wouldn't be possible without the amazing co-authors @yili_qian @JerichaMill @JudithSimcox @oventurelli2

It’s crazy how talking with a science buddy is simultaneously what’s most likely to move the project forward and the thing that’s least prioritized in our schedule.

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.

Don't you want to find out why EBV transformed B cells have upregulated sphingolipid metabolism resulting in higher freq of lymphomas?
Or
How motility/surface attachment cross talks w/ quorum sensing in the gut pathogen Vibrio cholerae?
Go to these posters! #ABRCMS2024
Good morning #ABRCMS2024! We have TWO @TuftsGSBS poster presentations today!!
Our amazing post-bac (PREP) scholar Nic (Poster A-065) and former summer research (BDBS) student Eliezer (Poster B-279) will be showing off their hard work! Please stop by!

This is really interesting work by my friend Daniel (Sangwoo) Park, postdoc fellow in @sarahcobey explaining the real world patterns of how multiple strains of pathogens can (not) coexist. Beautiful merging of epidemiology and ecology coexistence theory!

Leveraging Klebsiella PhageBank
@Klebsi_Ella_R @mark_mimee describe Klebsiella PhageBank for design of phage cocktails that suppress carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae in mouse gut. Phage-bacterial interactions shape bacterial virulence & phage host range

This is so cool! Congrats!!
Delighted to share our work developing an mRNA vaccine for C. difficile, published today in @ScienceMagazine. This study with @WeissmanLab was co-led by two truly amazing scientists: @_alexafluor from the Zackular lab and @MgAlameh (now at @CHOP_Research)! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Our paper out today @nature: phages reconstitute NAD+ to counter bacterial immunity
Phaged invented a new biochemical pathway for NAD+ synthesis - including previously unknown enzymatic reactions - to evade bacterial defenses
Congrats @IlyaOsterman!
