Postdoc in the Kim Seed lab at UC Berkeley exploring phage-bacteria interactions. She/her. 🏔🐕🦠
- Reposted by Emily KibbyI’m excited to share my recent postdoc work. Here, we interrogate how different phage infection outcomes (productive vs. restrictive) affect the expression of phage defense systems. We find that a restricted infection not only inhibits the phage but also induces increased immune protein abundance.
