The mycobacterial DnaK system of chaperones associates with many drug targets and can itself serve as a potential target for drugs to overcome antimicrobial resistance in mycobacteria. @mBioJournal skyw.io/vt80WG

I really appreciate @penn_state taking the time to write about me. This post isn't about self praising, I hope this serves as an example (hopefully a good one) to many hardworking immigrants out there who had to constantly battle and work their way up despite systemic barriers.
As a child growing up in Nepal, Bikalpa Neupane dreamt of going to college in the U.S.. Now, he is a doctoral candidate at @ISTatPENNSTATE, researching fairness and bias of machine learning systems. Read more on his journey ➡️ ow.ly/Mu6850EVWkX

While I was out of the lab during the pandemic, Drs. Wende Liu (CAAS) and Xiao-Lin Chen (Huazong Agricultural University) gave me a fun opportunity to collaborate on an Annual Review. I learned a lot about PTMs in regulating bacterial and fungal pathogens! annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10…

Our new paper is out in mBio! @Ravikum09202811's work in collaboration with @k_hockett, @kandelprem, and ugrad @ebonitraverso. It investigates the physiological states that help path. populations survive antimicrobials and cause recurring infection. (1/5) mbio.asm.org/content/mbio/12…

Very excited to announce our first paper on toxin-antitoxin systems in phage defense. Entirely the work of a supremely talented student, Chantal Guegler! It's been mind blowing to explore the amazing world of phage biology... cell.com/molecular-cell/full…

If you have a few hundred bacterial genomes to compare and want to infer a distance matrix without doing all pairwise ANI computations, try LINflow code.vt.edu/linbaseproject/L… peerj.com/articles/10906/ and let us know how it works for you.

Congrats to Ravi @Ravikum09202811 on final acceptance of his lead author "pandemic project" in mBio! (Coauthors @kandelprem, @k_hockett, and @ebonitraverso.) In place of a celebratory lunch out, I got him a celebratory project-themed facemask.
