Shout out to Miriam Guevara, research specialist in the Pellet Lab, on her recent poster award at the IBRCC! She presented her collaborative work with Jae-Hyuk Yu and Dasol Choi investigating the effects of a novel broad-spectrum antimicrobial on C. botulinum.

I had a great time attending and presenting at the 60th annual IBRCC meeting in Atlanta. I am also honored to have received a best poster award!

New report from the Pellett Lab on how botulinum neurotoxins can be produced at high levels in a stable form in C. tetani. This finding is expected to greatly facilitate purification of BoNTs and could aid in production of antitoxins. mdpi.com/2076-2607/12/1…

The @UWMadisonMDTP recently held their annual Bactoberfest, and it was truly a sight to behold! The theme this year was 'Comics and Cartoons', with 32 labs going all-out to create interactive booths for the occasion. An absolutely wonderful MDTP tradition!
