Jinich et al. present an important new resource for the Mtb community! The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Transposon Sequencing Database (MtbTnDB) is an interactive web resource summarizing 150+ published screens. #MicroSky #Mycobacterium #tuberculosis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

EtfD links beta oxidation to OxPhos in mycobacteria - recent work suggests that targeting EtfD could shorten #tubeculosis treatment. But how does EtfD work? And how can you assay its activity? In his final PhD manuscript @courbongautier.bsky.social provides answers! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Simply incredible story of the triumph of the US biomedical research ecosystem. Think of all the strands of discovery over many decades that came together to save this child. In large part becuase of NIH. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

#Tuberculosis is the world's deadliest infectious disease, but it has a cure! However, because of cost, treatment length, and availability of testing, not everyone can complete treatment. www.who.int/news-roo...

Pleased to highlight a new preprint from the lab. This is the work of my longtime collaborator in the lab Allison Fay, who wanated to create new tools for disocvery biology in mycobacteria, specifically a new sysem for protein localizaton and proximity proteomics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Gender equality doesn’t just 'happen.' Women’s rights must be fought for and protected. Our responsibility is clear. To lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all. Not just today, but every single day. #InternationalWomensDay

Incredibly proud of our NYC scientific community for standing up for SCIENCE! @standupforscience.bsky.social

😡😡😡😡

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

This is a gut-wrenching, beautifully written essay. A doctor must watch helplessly as children die because USAID's freeze on aid has limited access to nutritional supplements. time.com/7258248/us-f...

Very important to get this word out!

Bacterial Virulence study section was cancelled this morning. The email was sent 2 hours before the meeting start time. I feel terrible for the investigators 😡

Please don’t stop sharing and posting your science because of the current attack on it, it is still valuable and reminds us what the fight is for

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (#IDWGS)! 👩‍🔬 🔬 🌍 #WomenInScience Now more the ever, we value the importance of raising the profile of women and girls engaging with and contributing to science.

"People in the US are now able to access long-acting HIV prevention shots, largely because of research that was conducted in SA and Uganda. Research in SA has also been critical to validating new TB treatments that are currently the SOC across the world." www.spotlightnsp.co.za/2025/02/11/s...
