Boston Bacterial Meeting (BBM)
@BostonBacteria
We’re a bacteriology-focused research conference organized by trainees, for trainees. The 31st annual BBM2025 will be June 9th-10th at Harvard Science Center!
Following up our Cell Reports paper, an avirulent C. difficle clinical isolate out-competes virulent strains in mice via quickly depleting multiple amino acids, and protects mice from developing colitis!

Abstracts due this Friday. We’re excited to read all your cool projects. 🧬🔬🧫
T-minus 23 days until I get to read all your fabulous abstracts!! 😍🧪🧬📖 the link to the abstract submission form will be in your order receipt email (but if you can't find that, blast us an email at [email protected])

🧪‼️🤘Scholarship applications due this Saturday (March 1st) Tell your friends and undergrads -- we want to see all your lovely faces at BBM2025!!!
🚨🚨 To make this bacteria meeting more accessible for URG trainees & undergrad researchers, BBM offers free registration for a select number of applicants. Apply here before March 1st! bostonbacterial.org/scholarships/ 🧑🎓💓🔬
BBM registration open!!! Hang with us and talk all about bacteria from June 9th to June 10th at the Harvard Science Center with our amazing keynote speaker Dr. Petra Levin! See you all there! secure.touchnet.net/C20832_ustores…
SAVE THE DATE ‼️ 📆 📢 BBM 2025 will be held on June 9-10th at the Harvard Science Center feat. the one and only Dr. Petra Levin as keynote! We can't wait to see you there. Registration and scholarship applications open next week.
My lab is up and running and just needs enthusiastic phage biologists to populate it! Contact me or apply in the link if you are interested in a postdoc exploring plasmid-dependent phage biology in beautiful (and super affordable!) upstate New York🍎healthresearch.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/HRI_Care… 1/3
Officially published! I’m happy to share my first-author paper out @mbiojournal journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
Excited to share our recent pre-print! The Vibrio cholerae encoded Nezha anti-phage system (SIR2-HerA) restricts virulent vibriophages ICP1, ICP2, and ICP3 by depleting NAD+ (Abi💀). However, an ICP1 isolate can overcome this by encoding putative NAD+ regenerating proteins! ⚡️
Oops! I guess BBM was too high energy this year and caused a power outage ⚡🔦 I had an unforgettable poster session in the dark 🕶️! +slightly improv'd breakout sessions Thankfully BBM re-nucleated iykyk 🧬🤭 to hear two great sessions & the super keynote by @joeBondyDenomy!
Kicking off BBM! Boston bacteria meeting 30th year anniversary at the GSU at Boston Univ. Campus Wouldn't be possible without our amazing co-chairs - Molly and Laurent, the organizing committee, and sponsors :-)
Who's excited for BBM next week? 😎😉 I'm picking up my poster today! Forecast is 76F ☀️🌅 since all you bacteriologists seem to be bringing the heat 🌶️🔥🌶️🥵 Looking forward to the talks and chatting about genetics🧬 and scary pathogens🙀🦠 w the best community out there!

Today is the last day to register for BBM 2024! Join us on the BU campus June 3rd/4th- 😎🌞🔥🦠 We are a friendly, trainee-run, supportive community for bacteriologist at all stages of training 😆🙌🤓🔥 We have the best science! but hey, I'm biased 😉 bostonbacterial.org/registration/
