We published a paper with @Contreras_Lab @TCordovaBio on Deinococcus radiodurans. It's our first paper ever on this organism and I think possibly our first paper where we got to spend a lot of time thinking about circles and ellipses. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae…
If you happen to find yourself at @ASMicrobiology Microbe 2024, come by posters MBP-606 (@TCordovaBio) and MBP-643 (@kokolokosiewicz) during today's sessions to learn more about the amazing work occurring in the @Contreras_Lab! #ASM #ASMmicrobe #whatstartshere 🤘🏾
Very excited to have my first, 1st Author publication, officially published! Big thanks to the @VernitaGordon Lab for their invaluable contributions! This has been a very exciting journey, and I am eagerly looking forward to sharing my upcoming projects! #whatstartshere 🤘🏽

We are delighted to announce our publication in @AppEnvMicro, led by @TCordovaBio in collaboration with the @VernitaGordon Lab. Together, we developed a new pipeline to quantitate geometric properties of bacterial cells & nucleoids. #whatstartshere 🤘🏾 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae…
We've been working on a cool project with @Contreras_Lab . Thank you @AFOSR for supporting this! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Geometric changes in the nucleoids of Deinococcus radiodurans reveal involvement of new proteins in recovery from ionizing radiation. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_molbio
Incredibly excited for my 1st(!) first-author manuscript to be out on @biorxivpreprint. We are very excited to share this work, & look forward to seeing it published. Big thanks to the @VernitaGordon & @JudeM_Phillip Labs for their invaluable contributions. #whatstartshere 🤘🏾

View our latest work in Biochemical Society Transactions, led by Katie Taylor & @lucasg_miller, where we discuss the current understanding of 8-oxo-G, protein partners, and recognition mechanisms of this exciting RNA modification! #WhatStartsHere🤘🏾rb.gy/wm377m
We are excited to announce our latest paper co-authored by @matsuri_rojano & @TrevorRSimmons on expanding the CsrA targetome! We found that CsrA selectively modulates sRNA-mRNA regulatory outcomes, impacting downstream network regulation. #whatstartshere 🤘🏾doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.…
We are very excited about our @CockrellSchool featured news article covering our work on our robust approach to gauge the effect of environmental stress on lung cell health!! A big thank you to the @Hypothesisfund for funding this important work. cockrell.utexas.edu/news/archive/9…
Check out our latest work in @AnnualReviews where we discuss native protein and RNA sensors of oxidative stress, and cover future directions for engineering RNAs as sensors of oxidative stress. #SynBio #AnnualReviews #WhatStartsHere 🤘🏾 doi.org/10.1146/annure…
Check out the preprint of our recent work led by @SeanEngels & Pratik Kamat in collaboration with @JudeM_Phillip Lab! We explore the biomolecular & morphological effects of PM, and begin to show that cell morphology can encode susceptibility to air pollution. #WhatStartsHere🤘🏾

As we approach the end of academic year, we want to recognize the undergraduate students that will be leaving us and graduating from @UTAustin. We are very thankful for their contributions to our group's research and culture!!!
We are very excited to announce our latest published article, led by Dr. Phil Sweet, which demonstrates the transcriptional sensitivity of prophages as biomarkers of bacterial exposure to ionizing radiation!! Read more below: #WhatStartsHere 🤘🏾 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae…
There's still time to sign-up for tonight's State of Biotech in Austin panel!! Our lab members and the leadership team of @NucleateHQ Austin are looking forward to networking and connecting with you all! #WhatStartsHere 🤘🏾

This has been an exciting week in the Contreras Lab for our undergraduate researchers! Congratulations are in order for our members: Lily Hoefner, Anna Stankes, and Ani Savk for all receiving competitive research fellowships! Your hard work does not go unnoticed! (1/3)
Congrats to @Alyssa_Ekdahl & @msrojano on their latest publication in @JMolBiol!! This exciting review covers the engineering of synthetic RNAs for sensing & regulating bacterial transcriptomes, and designing novel RNA switches for in vivo applications. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
(1/3) This Summer, we had the pleasure of hosting students from both the Nascent and @TACC Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) Programs. Our students' final presentations were a great success! We are very proud of all of our Summer mentees: Ani, Dylan, Jackie, and Taylor!
