Christine Jacobs-Wagner’s lab (HHMI, Stanford). Bacterial multiplication, cell cycle functions & cell morphogenesis from general principles to Lyme disease.
Stanford, CA
Joined June 2019
If interested in bacterial resilience or the biology of the Lyme disease agent Borrelia burgdorferi, please consider checking out our preprint. Led by talented grad student Jessica Zhang and former postdoc @NickTakacs86 in fun collab with Patti Rosa’s lab.

Amazing opportunity to work in a great lab with a fantastic mentor and scientist (and collaborator!).
📢 calling prospective postdocs! Only a few days left to apply to join our growing group in the beautiful city of Edinburgh to lead an exciting project focused on how gene expression, RNA metabolism and cell signalling are all coordinated with changes in cell size.

Very excited to share this collaborative work on the structure of the Caulobacter bifunctional Tad pili motor. Great work by @IanYYen and @gregbwhitfield!
Beautiful work by @IanYYen from @PLynneHowell lab and @gregbwhitfield from @BrunLabCaulo in collaboration with @RubinsteinJohn revealing how the #T4cP motor works. This system has two platform proteins and only a single extension/retraction ATPase. https://t.co/xQ5MzGWLCZ

A huge thank you to my alma mater @UniversiteLiege for this honor. It was such a privilege to reconnect with professors, mentors, colleagues, and friends who made such a huge difference to me at an early stage of my scientific journey. 👨❤️💋👨
We were honoured to present Christine Jacobs Wagner, professor at @Stanford, with the #ULiège “ #Alumni en Lumière ” medal. This momentous occasion highlighted the inspiring career of this internationally-renowned microbiologist. https://t.co/XvVeMbHICS

We’re hiring! We have Wellcome-funded postdoc positions to join my group. The project will build on recent work on transcriptional cell size scaling (Swaffer et al. Cell 2023) to ask how gene expression, RNA metabolism and cell signalling are all coordinated with cell size (1/3)

Thrilled to share that our paper on the differential growth rate of Caulobacter daughter cells is finally in print. Work led by the talented, now-doctor @skye_glenn
pnas.org
In proliferating bacteria, growth rate is often assumed to be similar between daughter cells. However, most of our knowledge of cell growth derives...
