Experimental evolution of viruses for basic science and evolutionary medicine @yale_eeb. Tweeting papers & news from our group. Acct managed by lab members.
This preprint is now an official, peer-reviewed paper 🥳 Microscopic phage adsorption assay: High-throughput quantification of virus particle attachment to host bacterial cells pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Tweetorial at the other place: bsky.app/profile/did:pl…
Finally, the preprint on my postdoc work from the past 3 years! With mentorship from @PaulTurnerLab and @EmonetLab, I developed a microscopic technique to measure attachment of viruses #phages to bacterial cells @YalePhage @QbioYale . biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Former @PaulTurnerLab postdoc @norapyenson featured Yale News today! Check out this overview on Nora's work or the full paper out in @ScienceMagazine #NoraSciencin news.yale.edu/2024/12/16/new… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
The @KITP_UCSB QBio course on mobile elements was amazing 🩵 With excellent projects led by @PaulTurnerLab, Roberto Kolter, @jemersonmicro, @richardneher, @NimwegenLab, @benjaminhgood (+ me). Course began with a wetlab bootcamp, Dallas Mould demonstrating the first experiments..
.@AntaniJo (@Yale) etal developed a microscopy-based technique to measure #phage attachment to bacterial cells. This method provides an alternative to the century-old Phage Adsorption Assay. Feel free to reach out with any questions: [email protected]. buff.ly/4fd1PnD

I'll be speaking about viral sociality at TEDxNewEngland on Wednesday 25th September, alongside a great lineup of other speakers. List of speakers & tickets here for anyone in the Boston area who might want to come: tedxnewengland.com/speakers #TEDxNE #SocialViruses #LoveVirology
Asher Leeks is pushing the boundaries of biomedical science with his innovative research on sociality in viruses🦠. To hear more about @AsherLeeks' approach to the future of viral research, attend our inaugural MIND+LIFE conference on 9/25. Info in bio. bit.ly/3zhSMSF
First #QBioBreakfast featuring a joint effort from @PaulTurnerLab Postdoc @MouldDMicrobe and visiting summer undergrad Emma Kane presented a chalk talk on phage-antibiotic combination therapy and environmental factors affecting phage infections. 💊🦠
I am absolutely delighted to be joining the University of British Columbia next year as an Assistant Professor @ZoologyUBC. We will study social evolution in viruses.
