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.

Wow - bluesky! 📈 🦠

Please help me amplify a special faculty search. We're looking for someone in "Microbial Systems Biology" to join me and @kreynoldslab.bsky.social at UTSW Sys Bio / Bioinformatics.

There is an empty lab space right next to us waiting for you!

We just had our dept retreat this week at the Perot Museum. Pretty awesome to have a poster session with the dinosaurs!

Thanks to everyone that helped plan! @kreynoldslab.bsky.social
(I don't know if anyone else is on bsky yet...)

Come join us at UT Southwestern!

It's a very nice place to do science. There's an extremely strong basic science community and there are interesting opportunities to connect to the clinical side of the institution.

👋 Hello Bluesky! 👋

I'm an independent fellow at UT Southwestern Medical Center and my lab is developing high throughput genetic systems for bacteria using DNA oligos. We're broadly interested in bacterial physiology and genomics.

I will be trying to use this app more moving forward!
