Fantastic talk by Dr. Sarguru Subash focused on UPEC fitness in #UTI at #UTICONF2026

So proud of my graduate student @jmduranramirez.bsky.social for giving a great selected abstract talk at #UTICONF2026 this morning ##UTISky

Fantastic Official Day 1 at #UTICONF2026 catching up with collaborators @globaluti.bsky.social #UTISky

Outstanding talks by the trainees from @katypatras.bsky.social lab Scott Bray and @aeshealab.bsky.social lab Oluwagbenro Adesunloro at #UTICONF2026 #UTISky

Next, 4 posters about a wide variety of great stuff - bladder flow modelling, phage therapy, catheter UTI, virulence mapping, and the gut/bladder axis @murraybeno.bsky.social @microberamon.bsky.social @nickyuen.bsky.social @fratorelli.bsky.social #UTISky #UTICONF2026

Great talk about Kleb UTI isolate heterogeneity to wrap up the last session of #UTICONF2026 #UTISky

Got to catch up with @henryschreiber.bsky.social yesterday at the #UTICONF2026 poster session

Huge congrats to @microberamon.bsky.social for winning a poster prize at #UTIConf2026 for presenting P-FLO, his innovative urine-flow human urothelial model! #UTISky

So proud of the team, presenting our work on #UTI using human-cell modelling. First, @victoriachu.bsky.social gave a fantastic podium presentation on her kidney-ureter-bladder chip to study ascending infection #UTISky #UTICONF2026 1/2

Stop by poster 42 to hear about the cool work her lab is doing with P. mirabilis diabetic UTI #UTICONF2026 #UTISky

So great to see @afloresmireles.bsky.social at #UTICONF2026

Its been umpety-ump years since I’ve actually presented a poster myself, but @microberamon.bsky.social had so much data we needed multiple posters! Needs must. Sorry Ramón if I get anything wrong! #UTICONF2026 #UTISky

Aaaand….its a wrap! cc @immunobladder.bsky.social #UTICONF2026 #UTISky

Here’s the Dallas contingent (with one stowaway - me!) just landed in Nashville en route for @globalUTI.bluesky.social UTIGA26 - 3 glorious days of #UTI research talks! Can’t wait to catch up with friends old and new… 🦠🔬 #UTICONF26 #UTISky

Excited to be in Nashville exploring my favorite topic: host–pathogen interactions 🦠 Our team integrates urinary microenvironment + mechanical cues (flow) in a bladder microtissue model to better evaluate antibiotic and phage therapies against UPEC Come check out poster 16! 👀 #UTICONF26 #UTISky

Great day presenting my poster at UTIGA conference in Nashville. Loads of positive feedback and amazing collaborations! What a great community to be part of! More importantly, a massive well done to @victoriachu.bsky.social for a brilliant talk today! Nailed it! 👌 #UTICONF26 #UTISky #UTI

Here’s (most of) the Rohn Lab for the launch of globalUTI.bluesky.social UTIGA26! @nickyuen.bsky.social @microberamon.bsky.social @victoriachu.bsky.social @fratorelli.bsky.social @murraybeno.bsky.social #UTICONF26 #UTISky #UTI

Currently in Nashville to talk about uropathogens for the next couple days! Those persistent, hard to treat bugs! Come by to poster 57 on Friday to see how I screen a gof pathogenic library on bladder organoids #UTICONF26 @globaluti.bsky.social

Dr. Aniruddh (Ani) Deshpande sent us a visual sneak peek of their upcoming #UTICONF26 presentation. He's coming all the way up from Sydney 🇦🇺 to discuss integrated pediatric #UTI clinic! He also spoke at our July 2025 #UTIhour. More info on our profile about that ;) #UTIsky #IDsky

Oluwagbenro Adesunloro from the Allyson Shea Lab sent in one of the most intriguing presentation sneak peeks we've seen yet! We are so excited to catch up with them at #UTICONF26, and learn more! Here's what they have to say below, in emojis: 🧠 🦠 🧫 🏥 👇 For more

When we asked our #UTICONF26 presenters to give us a sneak peek, Dr. Alan Wolfe, PhD, who leads the Urobiome lab at @LoyolaChicago.bsky.social was the first to answer! Here's what he had to say 👇

#UTICONF26 is just a few short weeks away! This year we asked our presenters to send us some sneak previews of our research, and they delivered! Dr. Malcolm Starkey of @Monashuniversity.bsky.social sent us this gorgeous picture. Read what he had to say 👇
