Researchers received a $3M grant to develop potential RNA therapies for people with cystic fibrosis who have rare mutations and do not benefit from currently available therapies.

Beyond excited to share this preprint of my work looking at how P. aeruginosa’s surface motility influences S. aureus spatial organization, physiology, and survival.

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month!

Researchers found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa persists and continues to evolve throughout the upper and lower airways of people with CF despite the use of highly effective modulator therapy. @catarmbruster @vscooper @jbombscientist journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
