Excited to share our new paper in Microbiome, led by Wolfgang Lab postdoc Cristian Roca, in collaboration with Drs. Bradly Drummond and Ilona Jaspers. We show that nasal microbiome dysbiosis is associated with COPD exacerbation risk. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A huge congratulations to Cristian, who defended this PhD thesis yesterday. We're proud to now call him Dr. Roca!

It's been a crazy (but great) 5 years. Glad to finally be done!

Wolfgang Lab at UNC-Chapel Hill@wolfganglab.bsky.social · last yr.

Research labs can be a revolving door of people. Today we officially welcomed a new PhD student, Rose Mason. Also today, Matthew Higgs @madeofmicrobes.bsky.social defended his dissertation and earned his PhD. Congratulations to both of these amazing scientists!!!

For our first post on Bluesky, we're excited to share our recent work published in mBio @asm.org! Led by PhD student @madeofmicrobes.bsky.social, we show that flagellar motility and interactions with the mucus environment influence Pseudomonas antibiotic tolerance. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Flagellar motility and the mucus environment influence aggregation-mediated antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic lung infection | mBio

Antibiotic treatment failure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is a key driver of mortality in muco-obstructive airway diseases (MADs). The bacterial mechanisms that contribute to antibiotic toleran...
