Watching the constant battle between hosts and pathogens in the lab and in my kids.


Our latest preprint from @Daugherty_Lab is live on bioRxiv! We explore the evolution and function of RIP kinases across diverse vertebrates and identify differential conservation of RIPK1-5 and several key associated proteins. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interdomain horizontal gene transfer: @dengkema, @Daugherty_Lab and coworkers find that key rml-3 gene conferring nematode exoskeleton resilience against environmental toxins appears to stem from the bacterial kingdom embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…



A privilege to watch trainees thrive in science & life. Huge thanks to 70+ who traveled from as far away as France for 20 yr reunion hosted by Aida de la Cruz, @psmitchej & @Daugherty_Lab. My heart is full (& our bellies). I wish all mentors can feel what I'm feeling right now.

Very proud of Sofia Delgado-Rodriguez's first first-author paper (with a lot of help from Andy Ryan)! And it made the cover! This is part of a fantastic special issue on ADP-ribosylation organized by @LeungLab and @FehrLab.

🎉 #PathogensMDPI, Vol. 12, Issue 5 🔖 Cover Story: Recurrent Loss of #Macrodomain Activity in Host #Immunity and #Viral Proteins by Sofia E. Delgado-Rodriguez, Andrew P. Ryan, and Matthew D. Daugherty @Daugherty_Lab @UCSanDiego 👉 mdpi.com/2076-0817/12/5 #ADPribosylation

Excited to see that our review on tripwire effector-triggered immune sensing of viral proteases by CARD8 & NLRP1 is out! My first, first-author pub, and I was lucky to write it with @Daugherty_Lab and the support of fellow Daugherty Lab members. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…




New preprint out showing a cool new host- and virus-specific way that the immune system has evolved to sense coronavirus infection! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congrats to everyone involved, especially force-of-nature first author @BriBerryTea! 1/
