Thanks to everyone who stopped by our #SGD booth at last night's #Yeast26 poster session! Especially our best bud who's clearly ready for some serious budding yeast research 🐕✨ Who needs AirBud when you've got a YeastBud? 🧬💙 🧪 #SGD #YeastResearch
Today we officially started our #iGEM2026 project!!! 🦠 We will try to utilize the S. 'boulardii' probiotic yeast as a chassis for antimicrobial peptide production. Follow for more details on our activities as we move forward with this year's challenges! #NCStateiGEMTeam #GoPack #NCSU
Celebrating the publication of our new paper w/ @pflieglerlab.bsky.social with a special Imperial Porter 🍻 . Barrel-Aged Pumpkin Queen from Casita Brewing Co. (Wilson, NC, US)
After many years of work, our study with @pflieglerlab.bsky.social on a Saccharomyces boulardii probiotic with diminished virulence is now published!! I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the authors for their contributions and support! www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Reading Microbe Hunters by Paul de Kruif on my balcony. I'm hoping for some birds too, so I keep my camera close by 🐦⬛🐦
Starting the first day of the 8th International Conference on Microbiome Engineering #ICME2025 with a cup of coffee. Exciting talks ahead! I'm also looking forward to explore Antwerp :))
We arrived to Raleigh, N.C. with my PhD students @balintnemeth.bsky.social and Andi, visiting collaborators including @alexandraimre.bsky.social and exploring the city! Here at Wye Hill Brewing.
