MD/PhD candidate at University of Illinois Chicago studying the effects of quorum sensing by Group A Strep on the host immune system | Movie/TV fanatic | Denver sports fan | Go 'Cats!
Excited to share my first first-author paper representing a portion of my PhD work in the Federle Lab. Long, frustrating, and not yielding an abundance of positive data like I had hoped, I'm proud that mbio and @asm.org saw its value

The Streptococcus pyogenes Rgg2/Rgg3 quorum sensing system causes global suppression of macrophage inflammatory programs via an intranuclear mechanism | mBio
Streptococcus pyogenes is a ubiquitous pathogen that causes over 600 million infections every year and 500,000
to 1 million fatalities. While in developed countries, it is generally known to cause

Somehow managed to successfully defend my PhD this week. Eternal thanks to Mike and the Federle Lab for getting me across the finish line with only minimal emotional damage. 3 quarters done—now back to med school.

Histone H1 kills MRSA
Marsman et al. detect histone H1 in MRSA in human abscesses and demonstrate that it
kills MRSA under physiological conditions. They identify through selective evolution
and a genome-wide screen that h...
