We’re proud to share that PhD student Rose Mason will present her talk, “Mucus-Driven Evolution Promotes Tolerance and Biofilm Diversity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,” at ASM Biofilms on Thursday, Nov 13. #ASMBiofilms

A huge congratulations to Cristian, who defended this PhD thesis yesterday. We're proud to now call him Dr. Roca!

Research labs can be a revolving door of people. Today we officially welcomed a new PhD student, Rose Mason. Also today, Matthew Higgs @madeofmicrobes.bsky.social defended his dissertation and earned his PhD. Congratulations to both of these amazing scientists!!!

Flagellar motility and the mucus environment influence aggregation-mediated antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic lung infection | mBio Antibiotic treatment failure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is a key driver of mortality in muco-obstructive airway diseases (MADs). The bacterial mechanisms that contribute to antibiotic toleran...

For our first post on Bluesky, we're excited to share our recent work published in mBio @asm.org! Led by PhD student @madeofmicrobes.bsky.social, we show that flagellar motility and interactions with the mucus environment influence Pseudomonas antibiotic tolerance.
