Georgetown Shuttle Service: “The last shuttle leaves at 11:45PM” Me: Oh it’s only 8PM I’ll be fine to finish setting up this experiment and make the bus. The experiment:

Interested in earning a PhD answering awesome questions at the intersection of bacterial physiology and pathogenesis? We are looking to recruit a doctoral student to the lab. Contact me for details! Please RT! ASM Biology @ Georgetown

Nothing like opening your emails to 100 more ASM Connect messages… last time this happened I accidentally moved my entire inbox to my junk folder 🙃🙂

Today, Dr. Tammy Kielian from the University of Nebraska Medical Center presented her studies into biofilm infections of S. aureus, which pose difficult challenges for the immune system after craniotomy procedures. Shaun Brinsmade (he/him) Tammy Kielian

Nothing like another vet visit this year, especially during the busiest time of the year…

Do you like lipids? Two-component systems? Hypervirulent bacteria? We've got it all! So excited to share this work with Shaun Brinsmade (he/him) Shahad Alqahtani Dennis A DiMaggio Jr Carl Stone where we find branched-chain fatty acids are essential for virulence in S. aureus! tinyurl.com/mr2ttw6w

Some light reading for the weekend! Excited to share our lab’s new work linking branched-chain fatty acids and virulence of Staphylococcus aureus! Augustus Pendleton Shahad Alqahtani Carl Stone Shaun Brinsmade (he/him) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

New year, new pic! The Brinsmade lab is ready to tackle 2023! Plus, poignant words from Louis Pasteur on the plaque above us. ⁦Biology @ Georgetown⁩ ⁦@GeorgetownColl⁩ ⁦Georgetown Medicine⁩⁩ ⁦Shahad Alqahtani⁩ ⁦Marcelle Ferreira⁩ ⁦Dennis A DiMaggio Jr⁩ #brinsmadelab

Grad spotlight *Dennis A. DiMaggio Jr.* Program/year: 5th year Biology PhD student Former program: Received my BS in Biology from Old Dominion University ODU Biology Dept.

Check out the preprint from the wonderful collaboration with Karine Dufresne and John McCormick lab! We show that a small bioactive molecule inhibits TSST-1 production to prevent mTSS and further show the impact of the compound on SaeRS! Solid 2024 so far in the Shaun Brinsmade (he/him) lab!

I am recruiting a technician to manage the lab and support research projects related to bacterial interactions within multispecies communities! 🦠🔬Please spread the word or apply if you're interested: georgetown.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Georgeto…
