Excited to share our new paper in mBio! We show that the Chlamydia trachomatis effector protein CT181 binds Mcl-1, prolongs neutrophil survival, enhances bacterial persistence, and promotes infection/pathogenesis in vivo.

Huge congrats to Robert and Paige from my lab, and thanks to our fantastic collaborators in the Rudel lab! Grateful to our reviewers and wonderful editor Sunny Shin for helping strengthen the work! Check it out here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

journals.asm.orgThe Chlamydia trachomatis-secreted effector protein CT181 binds to Mcl-1 and prolongs neutrophil survival | mBioChlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that must evade early immune defenses to establish infection. This study identifies CT181 as a previously undescribed secreted effector that...

We’re hiring in the Weber Lab at the University of Iowa! We study how intracellular pathogens (Chlamydia trachomatis and Orientia tsutsugamushi) manipulate host cells through secreted effector proteins. Two great opportunities for future scientists and research professionals.

PSA for NIH R35s: My R35 was administratively withdrawn this year because I broke my Future Research into “Aims” & they said this violated the “Do not submit a Specific Aims page or identify specific aims” policy. So. Don’t use the word “Aims” in an R35 - use “Projects”. #critical

I’m absolutely devastated. My heart goes out to those who put so much effort into these applications and to the panel members who dedicated their time and energy to reviewing them. Hoping for a swift resolution!
