Thanks to @GCCAMR for the opportunity to share recent updates on my Klebsiella project! Having fun connecting with local colleagues working on abx resistant pathogens ☺️ #GCCAMR26

@joeyzacks @ScienceMagazine @WeissmanLab @_alexafluor @MgAlameh @CHOP_Research Congrats Joe, really exciting work!!

Delighted to share our work developing an mRNA vaccine for C. difficile, published today in @ScienceMagazine. This study with @WeissmanLab was co-led by two truly amazing scientists: @_alexafluor from the Zackular lab and @MgAlameh (now at @CHOP_Research)! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Award winners from the Britton Lab in best talk and best poster categories!

Exciting opportunity at Rutgers to join a new lab working on gut hormones!! Sara is a fantastic mentor and lab mate, reach out now!

@RonitSchwartz99 @BrodskyIgor @pennvet @ScienceAdvances Congrats Ronit, so excited to see this out!!

Really excited to share a short tweetorial of some of my work as a grad student in the @BrodskyIgor lab @pennvet, now in press at @ScienceAdvances! 🧵👇science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@microcallahan @NIH @NIAIDFunding @berger_lab @JohnsonLabUTK Congrats, so exciting!! 🤩🙌

Best news to receive at a conference! Thank you to @NIH @NIAIDFunding for providing this life changing opportunity! Special thank you to @berger_lab and @JohnsonLabUTK for their continued support in my research training!

@FleemanLab @microcallahan @ValeriaMReyes Great meeting you and learning about your work! Hope to see you again!

@RinaDoesScience @microcallahan @ValeriaMReyes It was great meeting you!

Had so much fun at #GRCToxPath!! My favorite conference among a wonderful trainee community. Thanks to our amazing GRS co-chairs @microcallahan and @ValeriaMReyes, hope to see everyone again in two years!!

Wonderful time seeing friends & meeting new ones at #GRCtoxpath! Many thanks to @DrBadBug, @TorresVJ_Lab, @ValeriaMReyes, & @microcallahan for a fantastic GRC/GRS! Truly honored to be elected as the next vice-chair. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next one in 2026!

@Marisa_Egan11 @swarthmore Congrats Marisa, so excited for you!! 😄

Thrilled to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Dept of Biology @swarthmore in the Fall! What an honor to be able to teach microbiology and mentor undergraduate students in the lab every day! This is my dream come true! I feel immensely grateful.

@KarenLXu_ @BrodskyIgor @SunnyShinLab @JennaJZhang Thanks Karen, hope you’re well! 😊

Excited to share the second half of my thesis project! Thanks to my wonderful mentor @BrodskyIgor, @SunnyShinLab, and co-first authors Daniel and @JennaJZhang for being by my side for every experiment. Thread of findings: (1/n)

@SaraDiRienzi Fight the urge to isolate the microbe 😂

Had a bout of gastroenteritis over the weekend. Couldn't help but wonder what crazy calcium signaling patterns were happening in my gut...

@jduncanlowey @BrodskyIgor @SunnyShinLab @JennaJZhang Aw thanks for following our work, hope you like this paper too!

@mayer_barber Overall, this work reveals a TNF-IL-1 signaling circuit that promotes control of Yersinia by monocytes in intestinal pyogranulomas. Thanks to all of my lab mates, collaborators, and mentors for your support! (7/n)

@mayer_barber Interestingly, IL-1 receptor was required on non-immune cells, similar to IL-1 signaling on epithelial cells being important for control of Legionella. doi.org/10.1016/j.chom…. Future work will identify the specific cell type involved. (6/n)
