ND Bio Grads

Sean Murphy, rising fifth-year grad student in the Dept. of Biological Sciences at the Univ. of Notre Dame, has received a prestigious Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Congrats Sean & @NDBios! graduateschool.nd.edu/news/doctoral-…

A new study has unraveled a mystery scientists had previously not been able to pinpoint: How proteins move disease-causing substrates across Tuberculosis cell walls. “That was really fortuitous, and it’s a good resource for other researchers.” go.nd.edu/b69ee7

Excited to share our most recent publication led by @michaelrodea, Lauren Green, and @camdenhoover3. A thread on the findings and the story behind the science. 👇 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to share this study by @RachelCronin1 in collaboration with ⁦@ChampionNd⁩ . Thank you to the Reviewers and Editor for your feedback. Proteo-genetic analysis reveals clear hierarchy of ESX-1 secretion in Mycobacterium marinum | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Congratulations to UNDERC Fellow @mc_leverett for successfully defending their dissertation! Dr. Leverett studied mating #behavior in treefrogs using field and modeling approaches. #fieldwork #frogs #sexualselection @NDBios @NDscience

To all the candidates interviewing for @NDBios, grad school is hard even if you love the place – almost impossible if you don’t, so never hesitate in contacting me (or others) if you have questions or doubts. Get answers to your questions! Happy to help!

Delighted to highlight this comprehensive study on a new extracellular particle, the Supermere, replete with bio markers and therapeutic targets. See, nature.com/articles/s4155… and nature.com/articles/s4155…

It was an exciting week in the lab. We have two new Ph.D. candidates! Congratulations to @CamilleMosley14 and @Fish_finatic on passing their qualifying exams!!!

Since I moved to the midwest for grad school and didn't know the local community well yet, this meant joining up with groups at my university already doing #outreach, #SciComm, and #SciPol work, like @SciPolND, @ND_BGSO, and @awis_nd. #ABSTakeover @chumblebiome

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Jordan Cockfield! The 8th Ph.D. student to graduate from the Schafer Lab @NDbios @NDscience @NotreDame. Incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and looking forward to her continued success as a #postdoc in @TheRobertsLab1 @StJude.

In 2010, Army medic Jayme Hentig went from caregiver to patient after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan. Now he's working to develop therapies to mitigate the effects of a TBI before it occurs: go.nd.edu/MilitaryCommun…

Last summer, @NDscience graduate students helped the St. Joseph Co. Health Dept. monitor mosquito populations to prevent outbreaks of EEE and West Nile Virus, the latest chapter in the University's rich history of vector biology. go.nd.edu/DiseaseDetecti…

Schistosomiasis annually infects 200 million people and claims 200,000 lives. While there are existing cures, reinfection rates are very high. @NDBios professor Jason Rohr is working with local partners in Senegal to cut the infection off at its source: go.nd.edu/InfectiousDise…
