Congrats to @clarede-ath.bsky.social and @sujeetkumar.bsky.social (Ruiz lab) on their joint paper. We reveal that YdbL modulates the YdbH-YnbE periplasmic spanning bridge, implicated in lipid transport to the outer membrane. It came out while we were together at GRC journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Jeff was such an amazing mentor to me (and many others) during my PhD, even though I wasn’t in his group. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. He will indeed be missed.

Last month, the Friends of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter held a screening of Breaking the Mould - a BBC drama that portraits the world-changing research done at the Dunn School to develop penicillin. The screening was followed by an expert panel discussion including @georgiaisom.bsky.social.
