The Adams Lab at the 2026 GRC Biology of Spirochetes meeting! Presenting NIAID research on gene regulation and cell biology of the Lyme disease pathogen! #NIH 🧬🔬🧫

Halloween fun in the Adams Lab 🎃

Great scientific discussions and community at the Regulating with RNA in Bacteria and Archaea Meeting in Strasbourg 🇫🇷, presenting NIAID research on B. burgdorferi sRNAs and single-cell RNA-seq #rna

Adams Lab loading…. Biology of Spirochetes Unit, NIAID Grand Opening: Summer 2025

Adams and Storz Lab trip to Six Flags 🚩🎢 #WorkHardPlayHard

Had a blast presenting our work on spirochete motility at BLAST!

Latest from the Westermann lab investigating the RNA biology of the human gut commensal B. thetaiotaomicron -- the RNA-binding protein RbpB regulates polysaccharide utilization through interactions with 14 (?!) paralogous sRNAs 🧪🦠 #RNASky

Treponema pallidum, the syphilis spirochete, expressing GFP provides visual insights on infectious properties. Neat work from Melissa Caimano and colleagues! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... 🦠🧫🧪🔬🧬 #MicroSky

Adams Group webpage is live! #NIAIDNews #IRPatNIH #ResearchingSpirochetes 🔬🧫🧬 (Consider joining our team!!) www.niaid.nih.gov/research/ada...

Join our team studying gene regulation and cell biology of spirochetes @ NIAID, NIH! Work on the dynamic NIH main campus in Bethesda, MD! Apply (email [email protected]) before Feb. 9th. More details @ ScienceCareers: jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/668360/p...

🚨In the latest pub from the Adams Lab we corrected a gene annotation mistake in B. burdorferi (there is no Hfq) and discovered FlgV — a broadly conserved flagellar assembly factor! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dec 1, 2024 🗓️ FIRST OFFICIAL DAY for the Biology of Spirochetes Unit at NIH, NIAID! Follow our research, as we explore the basic biology of pathogens that cause infections like Lyme disease and syphilis 🔬🧫🧬 #AdamsLab @niaidnews.bsky.social
