Working on phage research?

Dr. Catherine Hernandez and I are co-convening the "Phage Ecology: From Prophage Decision Making to Ecosystem Modulation" in-depth symposium at ASM Microbe 2025 and we want YOU to be part of it!

Abstract submission is now open!

Finally got around to processing my first cryo-EM image! This tailed phage was isolated from the gut of a honey bee and targets Bifidobacterium. Not 100% sure what the other circular structure is. If you have any ideas, let me know! 🐝🦠🧪 #phagesky
A cryo-EM image of two tailed phage and a third circular object. Phage heads are ~50nm in diameter. Phage tails are ~150nm long.

cryo-EM image of phage isolated from bee gut material! More images (and experiments!) coming soon 🐝🦠🧪
This is a cryo-EM image taken of a bacteriophage (phage) isolated from the gut of a bee. In the image, you can see two phage particles of similar size. Both phage particles have heads, portals, and are tailed. The phage are approximately 200nm long (from head to tail)
