Bioenergetic stress potentiates antimicrobial resistance and persistence - Nature Communications The bactericidal action of some antibiotics is associated with increased ATP consumption, cellular respiration, and reactive oxygen species formation. Here, Li et al. show that constitutive hydrolysis...

I'm thrilled to share the newest paper from the Yang Lab! Ever wonder how bacterial metabolism affects antibiotic resistance #AMR? In this study, Barry Li, a former MD/PhD student in the lab, took on this question using a systems and #synthetic_biology approach. 1/n

Congratulations to our graduating MD/PhD students Nawoo, Ryan, and John! You will be greatly missed and we wish you the best as you begin your careers as physician scientists! 🎓🎉

On April 24th, the MD/PhD program held its 2nd annual symposium! Students in the program shared their work through posters and oral presentations, and Dr. Monica Driscoll gave an informative presentation on her work exploring the biology of aging using C. elegans!
