Excited to share that some of my PhD research was recently published in Nature Communications!
In short, we showed that when a spatially-structured bacterial population is exposed to antibiotics, death sweeps through it as a sharp front whose dynamics are controlled by a “nutrient bottleneck”

A nutrient bottleneck controls antibiotic efficacy in structured bacterial populations - Nature Communications
In this work, authors provide evidence that bacteria in spatially structured populations protect each other from antibiotics through collective nutrient consumption, creating ‘death fronts’ that sweep...
