An Update! 🎉 I am so happy to announce that in May 2025, I will be joining the University of Minnesota as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology. My lab will study host-pathogen interactions during Klebsiella systemic infection.

Thank you to all collaborators for helping to sort through this huge set of data and to the barcoding community for your help in comparing our trends to other systems! This is truly a study were I made friends and collaborators along the way. ⭐

Klebsiella leaves the lung in two distinct patterns, termed "metastatic" and "direct", which are defined by the extent of clonal replication in primary tissues and predict bacterial burden across sites. Oxidative stress from the host and bacterial LPS influences these patterns.

I'm excited to announce our latest publication! We teamed up with @KHullahalli to barcode Klebsiella and ask basic questions about bacteremia pathogenesis: 1) how are bacteria shared between sites and 2) which host and bacterial factors influence dynamics? nature.com/articles/s4146…

@minisciencegirl Thank you, Amy! That is so kind. The STAMPR work has been a fun thought exercise in how infections progress and how bacteria need to adapt to spread between tissues. Certainly a huge collaborative effort!

.@CL_Holmes Just heard Michael presenting your awesome work using STAMPR to understand dissemination of Kp during systemic infections at #KLEBS2024!! Looking forward to the paper and congrats on your new position.

I'm so happy that this paper is finally published! This one was a long time coming: 9 years, 3 pairs of hands, 270 strains, 93 plasmids, and a lot of hard work. It started as a side project that eventually led to my entire dissertation, and I'm glad it did.

@KhaderShabaana Tips for personnel management would be helpful! For example, how to set group/individual expectations, handle conflict between lab members, or conduct annual reviews. It would be nice to hear a few different strategies for these types of things since everyone does it differently.

New article!✨In this review, we present a broad overview of bloodstream infections, consider microbial pathogenesis mechanisms, and discuss how these strategies could be used in future therapies. #KlebClub

@MGoBacteria I am feeling pretty strongly that "born" is fine, but am willing to entertain arguments to the contrary.

I have a lot of thoughts about this but maybe just try decreasing time from K99 score to NOA so that postdocs don't burn >1 yr of the time you're trying to restrict waiting for their K phase to start while not knowing the rules about applying to/accepting jobs during this time?
NIH@NIH

➡️ Shorten the eligibility window and refocus review criteria for a key mentored career development award (K99/R00) to facilitate more rapid transition of postdoctoral scholars.
