Professor and scientist fascinated by infectious diseases, host-microbe interactions and bacterial infections. Views my own 🇵🇷 #CienciaBoricua #MacFellow
If you want to know more, at the end of the article there is a link to a MicroTalk that yours truly had with @realKarlKlose on Vibrio vulnificus.
Vibrio vulnificus, a so-called “flesh-eating bacterium,” causes severe wound infections. What are the mechanisms behind its ability to destroy host tissues—and why does it destroy them at all? asm.social/2vq
What has evolution taught us about immunity? 🧬🦠 #NASmember K. Heran Darwin of @nyugrossman explores how Mycobacterium tuberculosis has shaped human defenses—and what this means for future cures. Watch her Research Briefing at the #NAS162 annual meeting: ow.ly/zAeO50WpW8r
Attend the 2025 Bringing Chemistry to Medicine Symposium to learn from leading experts in transcription, chromatin regulation, computational biology and chemical biology. Registration is free and available both in-person and virtually.
