Please share this opportunity widely!

Postdoctoral Researcher University of California, Los Angeles is hiring. Apply now!

Come work with me at UCLA!
I’m hiring #postdocs to join my lab where we’re building new tools to detect TB drug resistance using fluorescence microscopy.
If you’ve got a PhD (or soon will) in microbiology/chemical biology - bonus if you’ve worked in BSL3:

First malaria treatment for newborn babies approved for use Malaria caused 597,000 deaths worldwide in 2023, with children under 5 accounting for 76 percent of all malaria deaths in the World Health Organization’s Africa region.

A small piece of good news in #publichealth today: in addition to malaria vaccines for kids age 5 month+, we now have malaria TREATMENT for babies!

(Of course, we also have to pay for the treatment & make it accessible. But I will take any joy I can find.)

1/27 We have a new paper out! Turns out that snowflake yeast have been hiding a secret from us - they've evolved a (very!) crude circulatory system. Not with blood vessels or a heart, but through spontaneous fluid flows powered by their metabolism. 🧪🔬

Thanks! We can get down to ~ 10 cfu/ul if incubated for 3 doubling times (a bit longer for tb since it’s a slow grower). Still faster than plating for cfu!

Obligatory intro post as a Bluesky newbie! 👋 Here’s a recent pic of my lab at UCLA — we’re a fun, curious crew studying antimicrobial resistance and the hidden structures of microbial RNA to fight infectious diseases (especially TB).

Follow along for science, stories, and snapshots from the lab! 🧬🧫

Tre-DST: A new drug susceptibility test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis using solvatochromic trehalose probes Tuberculosis (TB) is the most lethal cause of death from a single infectious agent. In 2024, an estimated 10 million people developed TB, nearly half a million of which were infected with drug-resista...

First BlueSky post to share that the First #preprint from the Kamariza Lab is live! We develop a trehalose-based assay to report drug resistance in Mycobacterium #tuberculosis. Check it out on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
