Postdoc studying mycobacteriophages at Pitt! | Alum of @CAMBUpenn and @EmoryUniversity
Joined March 2019
Excited to share the study I carried out with @IllouzMorgane ! We identified cell surface molecules called TPPs as required for infection by two therapeutically useful phages that infect and kill mycobacteria. #phage #mycobacteria #NTM #phagetherapy.
OUT NOW👇. Therapeutically useful phages use surface-exposed trehalose polyphleates to infect Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium smegmatis @GHatfull .

Exciting study asking an important question- how do airway epithelial cells respond to phages used in therapy?.
Lytic bacteriophages interact with respiratory epithelial cells and induce the secretion of antiviral and proinflammatory cytokines #biorxiv_micrbio.
