The Stadler and Chappell labs are hiring a joint postdoc to join an NSF-funded project on isolating and engineering environmental plasmids for microbiome engineering applications! Email [email protected] and [email protected] to apply. More info below!

Thrilled to share our work on engineering phages to study their host range in microbial communities. This is the work of @micronaut.bsky.social who recently defended and is on the postdoc market!

Fresh in @NatureBiotech! We developed a synthetic biology tool for tracking gene transfer in microbial communities and applied it to study plasmid hosts in a wastewater microbiome. Awesome collab with James Chappell & @joffsilberg.bsky.social and incredible students. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
