I am excited to share the latest work from the lab: Kristen Witt’s (Kristen Witt) discovery of a novel pathway of interferon regulation, the SP140-RESIST pathway. As a bonus, there is a fun connection to effector-triggered immunity as well (thread): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am happy to share our latest work spearheaded by Drs. Torres (not on X) and Wilkins (Ashley A Wilkins, PhD) demonstrating the need for cooperation between interferon gamma and nutritional immunity for restriction of Legionella growth in macrophage infections. (rdcu.be/dTn66)

Heterogeneity in the composition of Salmonella enterica LPS is essential for bacterial evasion of host antimicrobial peptide and macrophage defenses, including inhibition of phagocytosis. Learn more in #IAIJournal: asm.social/23W

Congratulations to the 2025 ASM Awards and Prize recipients! We're honored to recognize your contributions to the advancement of the microbial sciences in the areas of research, education and leadership. Get acquainted with these outstanding awardees at asm.social/242

Are you interested in the proteins that enable macrophages to eat, kill, and digest bacteria, apoptotic cells, or other debris? Here, we present PhagoID, phagosome proximity labeling we used to profile human and mouse phagosomes with quantitative mass spec! (1/ 11)

Congratulations Susan Weiss SUSAN R WEISS Penn Microbiology on receiving the ASM Lifetime Achievement Award! Such well-deserved recognition of your foundational contributions to understanding coronavirus biology over the past 4 decades! 🥳

Faculty Search Webinar! Curious about the YaleMicroPath faculty search and life in CT? Please join us for a Q&A webinar 9/19/24 12pm noon EST. Panelists Hesper Rego, Ya-Chi Ho, Andy Goodman, and Craig Roy. Participation is anonymous. Registration required: yale.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Honored to receive the ASM Award for Early Career Basic Research! For years, there was skepticism about AI in microbiology. Now, we’re discovering antibiotics at digital speed. Grateful to my team, family, and collaborators for their incredible support!

Point of View: Applied research won’t flourish without basic science doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… From leaders at the NIH! This is absolutely true and we need more support from Congress to allow for exploration and fundamental studies.

Fantastic Penn Microbiology seminar by Jon Kagan Jonathan Kagan on the beautiful recent study by his postdoc Daniel Fisch on the cell biology of TLR and Myddosome signaling! Thanks so much Jon for sharing your research and spending the day with us! 🙏

What are the hottest new drug targets for #inflammatory & #neurodegenerative diseases? #Inflammasomes of course - read this to find out why!
