New paper alert! We suggest caution in the analyses of viral auxiliary metabolic genes and propose a new overarching term - 'auxiliary viral genes' (AVGs) to describe different types of such genes.

A call for caution in the biological interpretation of viral auxiliary metabolic genes - Nature Microbiology
This Perspective discusses virus-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes and provides a framework for the biological interpretation of these genes.

📝New preprint! We investigated how spatial structure affects cooperation between phages, combining mathematical modelling and experiments. A short thread 🧶

Midway through a full week, early career focused event at University of Maryland. Ever more excited for what could be in the study of phage dynamics across scales. Many thanks to all the lecturers, student/postdoc participants, lab instructors, and support.

New preprint led by

& Fernando Santos. We show that filamentation enhances bacterial survival under toxic stress — not as collateral damage, but as a regulated morphological response. TL;DR: Filamentation isn’t a symptom, it’s a strategy!

After some busy days, I'm happy to share with y'all that I successfully defended my PhD last week. Milestones like this are never achieved in a vacuum. It takes a village and I'm incredibly grateful for the friends, family, and colleagues who supported me through this journey.
