We’re proud to share that PhD student Rose Mason will present her talk, “Mucus-Driven Evolution Promotes Tolerance and Biofilm Diversity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,” at ASM Biofilms on Thursday, Nov 13. #ASMBiofilms
Research labs can be a revolving door of people. Today we officially welcomed a new PhD student, Rose Mason. Also today, Matthew Higgs @madeofmicrobes.bsky.social defended his dissertation and earned his PhD. Congratulations to both of these amazing scientists!!!
Excited to share our new paper in Microbiome, led by Wolfgang Lab postdoc Cristian Roca, in collaboration with Drs. Bradly Drummond and Ilona Jaspers.
We show that nasal microbiome dysbiosis is associated with COPD exacerbation risk.

For our first post on Bluesky, we're excited to share our recent work published in mBio @asm.org! Led by PhD student @madeofmicrobes.bsky.social, we show that flagellar motility and interactions with the mucus environment influence Pseudomonas antibiotic tolerance.

Antibiotic treatment failure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is a key driver of mortality in muco-obstructive airway diseases (MADs).
The bacterial mechanisms that contribute to antibiotic toleran...
