New review out in @NatureRevMicro on the complex rltnshp btween metabolism & AMR! A true labor of love from previous postbac Mehrose, grad students Varun & Zirui, and collaborator @drrobsmith.bsky.social (plus figures I'll likely use for many talks to come 😊) rdcu.be/eaES2

Harmful algal blooms are a threat to human health. Yet, we don't understand how changes in gene expression of the main culprit, Microcystis, facilitate blooms. Our latest collab, led by Dr. Lauren Krausfeldt and @jochrome1.bsky.social , sheds light on this process. journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

Happy to share our most recent manuscript with the Bsky community. Bacterial infections that reach a high density are challenging to treat with antibiotics, but we do not know why. We present evidence showing that nucleotide synthesis is intimately involved. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Happy to see the community growing here. Our lab is interested in understanding how bacterial metabolism impacts antibiotic resistance. We often hop into other cool projects outside our primary interest, ranging from understanding algal blooms to identifying quantum events in biological systems.
