We are a #microbiology lab that studies how "superbug" bacteria evolve in the context of human infection, through both wet-bench research and #Bioinformatics.
Follow us and check out our website to learn more!

Antibiotic-resistant infections – caused by so-called “superbugs” – are a leading threat to human health worldwide and pose a particular risk to people with immune systems that aren’t working well. bit.ly/3crRT9x

It's a bit hard to talk up non-#COVID19 research news, but we published this work today which shows how antibiotic resistant bacteria evolve during colonization and infection. I feel very proud to have been one of the leaders of the project!

What makes certain bacterial infections more difficult to treat? Researchers used genetic sequencing to find out. ow.ly/4A6Y50zDnei @Joshuawolf @PNASNews

Proud and excited to share our findings on the "Evolution of VREfm during colonization and infection in immunocompromised pediatric patients" under the leadership of my extraordinary PI @DariaVanTyne! #WomenInSTEM #Enterococcus #InfectiousDiseases

Out today in PNAS - our latest adventure exploring how VRE evolve in the GI tract and bloodstream of immunocompromised kids:

if you're a scientific, medical, or economic researcher publishing for credible institutions with limited visibility related to our current crisis, please DM us and we'll see if there's any way we can boost your work

Here is the @eLife digest for the latest paper from the @VanTyneLab! Shout-out to @HayleyN0rdstr0m for the artwork.
Thanks again to @DariaVanTyne, @LabMigel, @mustaphamun, @SundermannAJ, @drjwmarsh, @vscooper, and many others for their hard work.

And of course, the study would not have happened without tireless work from @DanEvansR (way to go Dan!) and critical input from @SundermannAJ @mustaphamun @drjwmarsh and @LeeHarrisonID

Really nice work! Congrats @VanTyneLab and @DariaVanTyne !

TLDR: we combined #genomics with #epidemiology to study the horizontal transfer of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) among more than 2,000 whole-genome-sequenced clinical bacterial isolates from a single hospital system.

Fantastic work by old friends @VanTyneLab and @LabMigel tracking horizontal gene transfer among >2000 genomes

I'll miss you guys too! The @VanTyneLab couldn't have asked for better next-door neighbors.
I'll still be around occasionally and will still be working with the lab part-time, so nobody's gotten rid of me yet!

Practicing for my new job! I start next week as an epidemiologist with @HealthAllegheny, focusing on #COVID19, healthcare-associated infections, and acute flaccid myelitis.
I'll be finishing up the @IDM_PittPubHlth Master's degree program as a part-time student.

I'd like to sincerely thank @DariaVanTyne and the @VanTyneLab for their continued mentorship. These next few months are going to be really hectic, so it means the world that they are so willing to support my professional development.

I’m quoted about antibiotic resistance in this Washington Post article about US public health threats. Article is not correct about 2 companies “going out of business”. Rather, they’ve declared bankruptcy. Still...not good news. @IDPittStop washingtonpost.com/health/ol…

I hope this doesn’t mean you’re horizontally transferring genes be the labs! Regardless, I’d encourage all Pitt faculty, students, staff, etc. to learn about this cutting edge work pioneered here, and hear from Pitt’s newest KL2 scholar, Mustapha.
