Why are infants susceptible to invasive pneumococcal diseases? Excited to share our latest work led by @LokkenToyli which explores this question and elucidates the age-dependent mechanisms that drive pneumococcal spread from the mucosa. @PLOSPathogens journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Is phenotypic variation functional? Stoked about our latest preprint spearheaded by the amazing Anne-Stephanie @DMF_UNIL @unil in collaboration with a fantastic team of people @vrrenske @suryad26 @santosmoreno_j @LalouxLab @YSchaerli @WeiserLabNYU biorxiv.org/content/10.110…






Feels surreal but here it goes! Elated to share that my primary research from @WeiserLabNYU @nyugrossman @nyulangone is now out at @ImmunityCP! Tweetorial ahead! 1/n 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/c/1gvdb3qNrUu3…




Excited to share our latest from @suryad26, now on @biorxiv! We describe the unexpected role of BlpC in driving intra-strain competitive success, with physiological consequences on ecology of the colonizing strain and importantly, transmission to new hosts! Tweetorial below.





Happy to share this manuscript where we study the population dynamics of pneumococcus during colonization and transmission. We used chromosomal barcoding to examine how the population structure of pneumococcus changes following infection. (1/n)
