- Reposted by Mosquito Symbiosis and Infection labIn my first Drosophila study at @salehlabparis.bsky.social, we found that: 1. Enteric viral infections accelerate aging. 2. Even if the infection is cleared, aging process remains triggered. 3. Accelerated aging correlates with reduced lifespan. 📑Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Mosquito Symbiosis and Infection labWhat happens if you introduce 🦠vs 🦠🦠🦠 into a microbial community? Are larger microbial populations more likely to establish? Check out new work led by @goldmandoran.bsky.social that used experiments and theory to dive deep into this simple question. ⬇️ www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- I’m thrilled to share my first ever publication, now published in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... With mentorship from the amazing @ksxue.bsky.social, I looked at how the outcomes of species introductions to microbial communities are influenced by the number of introduced microbes.

- Lots of MosSI Lab representation at the LSTM 125th Scientific Symposium this week! @mosquitomicrobe.bsky.social spoke about our Anopheles Wolbachia work.
- Come and work with us!
- The @mossi-lab.bsky.social has several PhD projects on offer at LSTM. Flavours include Wolbachia in Anopheles, microbiome mosquito interactions, Wolbachia-microbiome interactions, & antiviral in mosquitoes. Students should apply to the LSTM PhD program - Applications close on the 4th of December!
