Best first tweet ever!!! I'm beyond honored to join the @HHMINEWS #GilliamFellows community. From Brazil to the Midwest - it's been a journey! π₯Ά
I'm so excited to learn from this amazing group of people and work together to continue pushing science forward! So proud of us!π

Ever wonder why drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is less fit than drug-susceptible Mtb? And how the bacterium can evolve to compensate for that cost?

The last paper from my phd is now published in @JMolBiol! Working together with Arad Moghadasi, we developed a live cell assay for quantifying viral and cellular deubiquitinase activity doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2023.1β¦

What a time we had. First in-person gathering for most of them, and me. I love my job @ HHMI, but miss regular facetime with students. The #GilliamFellows meeting filled my tank and will keep me going for quite a while! ππππ (β¬

2 days, 32 talks heard, 1 digital (!) poster presented, many friends made. So happy to attend my first @HHMINEWS science meeting, finally meet some of the other Gilliam fellows in person, and be in the company of so many inspirational scientists β¨

My 1st first-author manuscript is out in @eLife! This project started back in 2019 with the question βwhat makes a viral protein evolve a new function?β A thread:

Our results combine to suggest that the birth of A3B at a critical branchpoint in primate evolution may have been a driving force in selecting for an ancestral herpesvirus with an expanded RNR functionality through counteraction of this antiviral enzyme
