My lab’s first preprint!

We used functional metagenomics to identify phage defenses in human and soil microbiomes. We scaled these selections while maintaining accuracy, enabling us to examine 9 habitats for defense elements against 7 phages.

Great! I'm not 100% sure about the salary. It's probably a 12 month appointment, but we're also in a medical school, so things are a bit different. Feel free to ask Kim Reynolds via email!

Dallas is also a nice place to live - 4th largest metro area in US, so there's a huge diversity of people, neighborhoods, food and jobs.

There's 1 week left to apply. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns!

Beyond our corner of the 11th floor, UTSW is an amazing place to do basic science. There are excellent grad programs, very professional core facilities, and top notch faculty (including practicing MDs)!

E.g. Dave Greenberg, Erdal Toprak, Sherry Cao, @kvnforsberg.bsky.social, Boyuan Wang

We see many different types of science fitting under "systems biology" - the key is work that combines wet lab & dry lab (computation/theory) efforts.

Interests might include genetics, physiology, syn bio, communities, or evolution. We are open minded. If this sounds intriguing, please apply!

Wow - bluesky! 📈 🦠

Please help me amplify a special faculty search. We're looking for someone in "Microbial Systems Biology" to join me and @kreynoldslab.bsky.social at UTSW Sys Bio / Bioinformatics.

There is an empty lab space right next to us waiting for you!

Oh wow - I missed that somehow! Thanks

Thanks for putting this together - I would love to be included!

Accidentally flipped the red & black terminals on the power supply and ran the agarose gel backward. DNA went straight from wells into buffer. 😅

Great idea, I'd love to be added!

We just had our dept retreat this week at the Perot Museum. Pretty awesome to have a poster session with the dinosaurs!

Thanks to everyone that helped plan! @kreynoldslab.bsky.social
(I don't know if anyone else is on bsky yet...)

Come join us at UT Southwestern!

It's a very nice place to do science. There's an extremely strong basic science community and there are interesting opportunities to connect to the clinical side of the institution.

👋 Hello Bluesky! 👋

I'm an independent fellow at UT Southwestern Medical Center and my lab is developing high throughput genetic systems for bacteria using DNA oligos. We're broadly interested in bacterial physiology and genomics.

I will be trying to use this app more moving forward!
