Our lab at UT Southwestern studies viral pathogenesis. And sometimes wine.
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/...

Very 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 !

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

🚨 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

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.
