🚨New Preprint!🚨 Type IV Pili (TFP) are the most common bacterial surface structures, making them promising for display across diverse species. Here we rationally design TFP-mediated display, applying it to the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803! 🧵

Thrilled to share that today we report our human protein interactome in @ScienceMagazine! Predicting which pairs of proteins in the human proteome is a great challenge due to the shallow eukaryotic evolutionary signals but hugely important to understand. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Little update! A year delayed, but wanted to introduce the Virus Diversity and Bioinformatics (ViDaB) Lab at @uprm! In our lab we dive into environmental #virology, #genomics, #bioinformatics, and more. Check out our new website: vidablab.com

A team led by the Ajo-Franklin group’s very own @Bacterioman99 has uncovered the mechanism through which E. coli utilizes redox shuttles for extracellular respiration and growth, showcasing the unexpected versatility of microbial metabolism biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Check out our new preprint out on BioRxiv now! We used zebrafish to identify what MYCN overexpression does during early sympathoadrenal development! We found a transient expansion of neural crest markers, as well as reduced BMP signaling. @uribelabrice biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out our new paper in @NatureComms on transforming conventional glucometer into a point-of-care biosensor for cancer therapeutics!
This work was led by Dr. Rong Cai and @BiochemAndChill in collaboration with the Verduzco lab @RafRice @RvindrSaxena

I'm happy to announce that this Friday, January 26th, at 11:30 CST I will be defending my thesis titled "Understanding Patterns of Phenotypic Variation in a Contemporary Population and Ancient Lineage of Fish". So excited to share the work I've been doing over the last 5 years!

Congrats to former CAF group member @SaraTeEse, as well as @SiliangLi3 and @Bacterioman99 for their new publication in Front Microbial!
This work is the first demonstration of extracellular electron uptake from a cathode by the fermentative L. plantarum.

Glad to share my paper now on Biosensors and Bioelectronics! We characterized the probiotic L. plantarum as a biosensor that can selectively sense quinone analogs and make electrical currents. Highlighting two interesting discoveries in this paper: (1/4)
