UW- Madison Microbiology PhD Candidate in @molabuw.bsky.social studying the evolution of anti-mobile genetic element defense systems in Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Check out our lab's latest preprint investigating RNA polymerase backtracking and type III CRISPR-Cas immunity: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Special shoutout to @angeljhv.bsky.social for leading this work!
RNA Polymerase Backtracking Promotes Type III-A CRISPR DNA Targeting
Type III CRISPR-Cas systems provide transcription-dependent immunity against mobile genetic elements, yet the mechanism underlying their DNA targeting remains unclear. Although the type III effector C...

I am happy to share that my first-author preprint is now on bioRxiv! My project delves into how S. epidermidis anti-mobile genetic element defense systems evolve to enable novel genetic acquisition. Huge thanks to the lab @molabuw.bsky.social, @angeljhv.bsky.social and @goldmandoran.bsky.social!

The 3rd Hablemos de Ciencia Symposium was a success! I started this event to create a venue for researchers to communicate science in Spanish and fight monolingualism in science. This year, we had the amazing Dr. Filipa Godoy Vitorino from University of Puerto Rico as our keynote speaker!
