Humboldt Research Fellow at Freie Universität Berlin studying bacterial aging and phenotypic heterogeneity
Excited to share our latest paper, where we show the development of gene expression asymmetry in aging E. coli!
Work done in the Evolutionary Demography Group at FU Berlin with @mtugrul.bsky.social, @arpitanath.bsky.social and Ulrich Steiner.

Progressive decline in old pole gene expression signal enhances phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria
Bacterial aging increases variance in gene expression and protein inheritance through a gradual decline in old pole activity.

Thanks #MEEhubs2024 for the opportunity to present my work online, despite the visa delays that prevented me from joining in Lausanne. It was great to interact with the hubs this morning! @meehubs.bsky.social

Excited to join this conference from Berlin! Our Evolutionary Demography Lab is looking forward to all talks & posters, and the exchange of ideas to come over the next few days!
Only a bit more than 12 hours till start of #MEEhubs2024. We have hundreds of registered participants, some shared their location and where they travel to on the map below! #MicroSky

Hello Bluesky! I'm Audrey, an evolutionary microbiologist exploring aging with an unconventional choice of model organism: bacteria! I track cell lineages as they grow and divide to investigate the most basic principles of aging, like the accumulation and partitioning of cellular damage.
