Microbiology lab at @CAMBUPenn. We study gut-microbiota interactions in the context of infectious disease. Recruiting at all levels! Student-run account.
So happy to congratulate Dr. Kevin Mears, who defended his thesis yesterday! Kevin received an NIH-NIAID F31 fellowship and had a 1st author publication in Cell Reports ( sciencedirect.com/science/ar… )during his time in lab
The Abt lab has a Research Technician position opening this Summer. We are seeking an energetic graduating senior interested in immunity and microbiome research. Applicants can go to Careers @ Penn (JR00101259) to find out more!
Check out this fantastic new article by the Zackular lab. Great work! @joeyzacks , @MgAlameh and team. A multivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine protects against Clostridioides difficile infection | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Clostridioides difficile toxin B subverts germinal center and antibody recall responses by stimulating a drug-treatable CXCR4-dependent mechanism dlvr.it/T78Dpl
Happy to share this pre-print from out lab. This work was lead by Dr. Joshua Denny, a very talented postdoc, in collaboration with Linda Lieberman from Merck Discovery Immunology
By neutralizing toxin and assessing the innate immune response to C diff infection we shed more light on protective vs pathogenic inflammatory host responses.
Highlighting our lab’s Research Specialist, Ellie @ellsnellz, who was featured in an article about volunteering in the community on MLK day. Great work! whyy.org/articles/fairmount-…
Congratulations to DR. @Emily_Cribas for defending her thesis today. Emily was the first student to join the lab and took a chance with a young PI. So happy for her.
Ever wonder what would happen to your immune system if you were stuck with a baby's microbiome? To find out see our new publication in Cell Host and Microbe! authors.elsevier.com/a/1gqSm…
Super excited to share my and Xinyun Zhang's work published in @MucosalImmunol. We found bacteria-specific memory Th17 cells were still protective even in the context of influenza virus infection. Thank you @abt_lab for all your support! doi.org/10.1016/j.mucimm.202…
Congratulations to Katelyn Bustin and @MegaMatthewsLab on their paper in @FrontPharmacol. It was great to be part of this project and learn some cool chemistry!
Big congratulations to our PhD student Katelyn Bustin, whose work was published on @FrontPharmacol. Check out this paper about our amazing hydrazine probes for characterizing metabolic drivers of Clostridioides difficile infection! frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Thrilled to share my work from the @joeyzacks lab published today in @nature. We find that enterococci enhance C. difficile fitness and virulence by remodeling the metabolic environment in the gut. Thread below with highlights. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Really excited to share our labs first paper published today in @Nature. This work was led by the amazingly talented @Brokaryote, who found that enterococci enhance C. diff fitness and pathogenesis by metabolically remodeling the gut during infection. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
