Mary Weber (Weber lab) @mweberlab.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Excited to share our new paper in mBio! We show that the Chlamydia trachomatis effector protein CT181 binds Mcl-1, prolongs neutrophil survival, enhances bacterial persistence, and promotes infection/pathogenesis in vivo. 160

Mary Weber (Weber lab) @mweberlab.bsky.social · 16/05/2026We’re hiring in the Weber Lab at the University of Iowa! We study how intracellular pathogens (Chlamydia trachomatis and Orientia tsutsugamushi) manipulate host cells through secreted effector proteins. Two great opportunities for future scientists and research professionals. 156
Mary Weber (Weber lab) @mweberlab.bsky.social · 08/05/2026We’re hiring! Join the Weber Lab at the University of Iowa to study Chlamydia effector biology, centrosome regulation, vesicular trafficking, and innate immunity. Please share! 044

Mary Weber (Weber lab) @mweberlab.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Sad to hear this. RIP Helene, you will be missed. 000
Mary Weber (Weber lab) @mweberlab.bsky.social · 16/12/2025I got my NCE, but that was back in late Aug. I put in for it back in July when you had to justify it and then the day after I got it you didn't have to justify it anymore. Best of luck!!!!! Hope you all are doing well. 100
Mary Weber (Weber lab) @mweberlab.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Thanks for sharing this! Was wondering if ones on the books for next week would proceed. Hopefully the ones that were missed get rescheduled soon. 020

Reposted by Mary Weber (Weber lab)Sarah Hird, PhD @sarahhird.bsky.social · 20/03/2025PSA for NIH R35s: My R35 was administratively withdrawn this year because I broke my Future Research into “Aims” & they said this violated the “Do not submit a Specific Aims page or identify specific aims” policy. So. Don’t use the word “Aims” in an R35 - use “Projects”. #critical 75124
