Microbiology PhD Candidate at UPenn | Studying malaria in the @odomjohnlab | she/her



















Super excited to share our new story led by a fantastic @PennMedicine @BMBGGUPENN graduate student @MattMartinez44 resolving the in situ structure of the rhoptry secretion system in malaria parasite by cryo-ET! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Thrilled to share that Emily @mathews_phd's terrific story is just out in @mbiojournal! Punchline? Malaria parasites need to synthesize isoprenoids for protein farnesylation to survive temperature stress - like what happens during fever! 🤒 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mB…



Huge congrats to official PhD candidates @RonitSchwartz99 & @PetersonStefanT who passed their prelims this week! Excited for both of you, fortunate to have you in the lab and so impressed by the effort and thought you put into developing your proposals!
