Nemudryi lab is looking for postdocs to join our team and study:
🦠 Bacterial phage defense mechanisms
🧬 RNA repair & CRISPR-based RNA editing
Excited about RNA, host-virus interactions & mechanistic biology?
Let's talk!

Marissa Gittrich led the work
Klebsiella phage biology has focused almost entirely on capsulated strains, but capsule loss is the #1 resistance mechanism under phage predation. We used a naturally acapsular host to reveal the receptor landscape
📣Huge preprint 🔔
Today we share something our group has been working toward for a long time, led by @lucasmoriniere.bsky.social We asked can we predict which receptor a phage targets from its genome sequence alone? For most phages, we couldn’t. So Lucas set out to do something I had only dreamed of.
🆒 new pub!
Rapid evolution of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms in vitro -> adaptations selected during infection by @gretazabo.bsky.social & Linus Sandegren
*hypermucoidy evolves via 📈c-di-GMP, overlaps w/ mutations in UTI and wound isolates.
*pleasure to advise this!

Excited to share a 6 yr long journey to develop & validate a biomarker-based acute #Lyme disease diagnostic test using urine. Herculean effort by Osas and Saadman, which wouldn’t have be possible w/o outstanding collabs @harvard.edu, @tuftslyme.bsky.social, @pireschembio.bsky.social
