The De Nisco Lab

This CAIRIBU U-RIG session will feature a talk from Jean-Philippe Gourdine titled "Bladder Microbial Catabolism & Host Urinary Glycans, A New perspective On Overactive Bladder" & Emmanuel Elijah, who will discuss urinary metabolomics work from his research with Lindsey Burnett.

Are you interested in learning more about the urobiome? Join the CAIRIBU U-RIG research hour, which aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and spur collaborations in the urobiome and adjacent fields. This session will feature a talk from Jean-Philippe Gourdine & Emmanuel Elijah.

Omg SUPER proud mentor moment tonight!!! @SamCornelius15 gets an AMAZING score on his F31 resubmission and Ceejay Saenz is totally rocking her first ever poster session at Cold Spring Harbor Microbiome!! Couldn’t ask for more talented PhD students! 🎶This is why we do it!🎶

Urinary biochemical ecology reveals microbiome-metabolite interactions and metabolic markers of recurrent urinary tract infection biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Take a look at our most recent #preprint from @TheDeNiscoLab cataloging the interaction between #biochemical #ecology and #microbial ecology in the urinary #microbiome of #postmenopausal women with recurrent #UTI. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We used a highly multiplexed targeted #metabolomics assay from @biocrates_life, whole genome #metagenomics, and an eye towards ecological analysis to identify how the urinary microbiome is associated with the urinary #metabolome. We also uncover novel diagnostic and prognostic #biomarkers for recurrent urinary tract infection (#rUTI). If you have a chance to give it a read, we welcome any feedback. I'm particularly interested in any ideas you might have in biochemical beta diversity analysis!

We're hiring! Join our friendly lab @uclmedsci in London for this 3-yr, @NIH-funded postdoc in collab with the fab @Chels_A_micro & @NicoleDeNisco. Work with our cutting-edge bladder microtissue model to study #UTI - feel free to contact me informally! jobs.ac.uk/job/DJZ846/res…

Our own @Hrishi_Dalvi representing the lab at his first-ever post session at #UTDResearchDays 🎉 Great job Hrishi, so proud of all your hard work on this exciting project!! Next stop the @CAIRIBU1 Annual Meeting in Milwaukee, WI thanks to a generous travel award!! 🦌

Send positive thoughts if you can. Rough day. The most important thing is your health y’all.

Teaching the next gen of mass spec’xperts! PhD student, @Hrishi_Dalvi is an EIC integrating master!

SEPTEMBER 27TH @NicoleDeNisco @TheDeNiscoLab will be kicking off season 2 of the CAIRIBU U-RIG Research Hour with her talk "Fatty acid auxotrophy as a defining metabolic adaptation of urogenital lactobacilli". All are invited to join this community of interdisciplinary, collaborative-minded investigators in the urobiome field. More information: cairibu.urology.wisc.edu/event/cairibu-…

@PopovicsPetra Yaaaaaas!!!

The grant will identify how epithelial lipid accumulation and luminal foam cells contribute to disease development as well as how macrophages translocate to the prostate lumen. I am excited to work with my talented team on these aims!

We finally got the NOA! This fund will help to decipher the role of lipid accumulation and foam cells in benign prostate disease.

Waking up to find that one of the most exciting lines of research in your lab has been scooped by a huge name in an adjacent field is not fun 😭 I know @PLOSBiology accepts scooped manuscripts. Does anyone else know of other journals with a similar policy? #ECRwoes #SciTwitter

I wrote to my Congressional Representative today. Thank you @urogynsociety for the heads up and example text. Please write your Congressperson this week!

Made it back to DFW after ~16hrs of driving!! So great to meet everyone and excited for Nashville in 2026!

@lauraamike It was lovely to meet you too!

@TheDeNiscoLab Memories 🎶🎶 And lab bonding! Great to meet you all.

Flight back from Columbus cancelled!! Again! Taking our fate into our own hands and road tripping back to Dallas! Had an amazing time at #UTIcon2024 even with all the travel issues. Wish us luck! #LabRoadTrip

@Nick_Dillon_PhD 😂

@TheDeNiscoLab Why is the driver the only one who looks scared....

@DongXintong We’ll try!!
