excited to share our latest work now online
@natmetabolism.nature.com, led by
@kyle-flickinger.bsky.social, where we unravel a mechanistic basis for the conditional essentiality of NADK, one of the many interesting hits from our previously reported CRISPR screening with HPLM rdcu.be/ekpu6

a fitting first post to mark the beautiful PhD thesis defense this afternoon from our lab’s very first student! Kim’s courage to join a brand-new lab and her ensuing grit, enthusiasm, and creativity were exceptional! extremely proud of all she has achieved, stay tuned for some of her cool findings!
