Our lab at UT Southwestern studies viral pathogenesis. And sometimes wine.
- New preprint/Hooper collab: Ever know a student so passionate about a topic that they dragged you in kicking & screaming but then you were fascinated? Here's how @robertmaples.bsky.social & Gabby Quinn got me to like cellular immunology. (Like, not love. I’m human.) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- Faculty search announcement 2025: Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Microbiology at UT Southwestern. We seek candidates working in microbial pathogenesis (some preference may be given to bacterial pathogens). Come join our community! (1/5) www.utsouthwestern.edu/departments/...
- What we offer: A highly collaborative and supportive environment that enables innovative science. (2/5) www.utsouthwestern.edu/departments/...
- Reposted by Julie PfeifferVery proud to have our lab’s first work published in @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social! In this work, we use functional metagenomics to find phage defenses from human and soil microbiomes! Congrats to first author @luis840alberto.bsky.social ! www.cell.com/cell-host-mi... (1/3)
- My lab’s first preprint! We used functional metagenomics to identify phage defenses in human and soil microbiomes. We scaled these selections while maintaining accuracy, enabling us to examine 9 habitats for defense elements against 7 phages. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/10
- Exciting news: Carla Saleh is now Chair of Virology at Pasteur! Congrats to Carla and all who will benefit from her exceptional leadership!
- Thrilled (and humbled!) to share that since today I am the Chair of the Virology Department at @pasteur.fr. Grateful to my colleagues for their trust. Now let’s push the frontiers of virus research together. The sky is the limit! 🦠🔬 #Virology #Science #TeamPasteur
- Valerie Rodriguez Irizarry’s tour de force paper on murine norovirus adaptation/egress is now out in peer-reviewed form @plosbiology.org. It highlights the power of forward genetics in virology research. 🧵 1/10 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
- Terry Dermody and I wrote an op-ed about chronic diseases ("Make America Healthy Again"), the role of viral infections, and how virologists can help. www.post-gazette.com/opinion/gues...
- Reposted by Julie Pfeiffer🚨 New paper out! "A single mutation in an enteric virus alters tropism and sensitivity to microbiota" One tiny change, big consequences. A great collab with the Julie Pfeiffer lab! @jkpfeiff.bsky.social Read here: bit.ly/42sD2rX #Virology #Microbiome #Science

- New preprint from Valerie Rodriguez-Irizarry in our group-- her tour de force thesis work used forward genetics to discover new insights into non-enveloped viral egress. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Reposted by Julie PfeifferWow - bluesky! 📈 🦠 Please help me amplify a special faculty search. We're looking for someone in "Microbial Systems Biology" to join me and @kreynoldslab.bsky.social at UTSW Sys Bio / Bioinformatics. There is an empty lab space right next to us waiting for you! apply.interfolio.com/154339 1/4
