Very excited to share that Uday @snowkaryote and I will be joining the Microbiology, Immunology, & Cancer Bio Dept @UVA_MIC @MedicineUVA as Assistant Professors this Fall! 🎉 My lab will study protein secretion in Gram-positive bacteria and its impact on host barriers & immunity.

The Cliffe lab is hiring a lab specialist or technician. Our current technician is leaving for grad school 👏. The post is well-suited for anyone who would like a few years of experience before grad school or for someone who would like to stay in a position for longer.

Our lab's first paper is official! Super proud of and grateful to the team for everything that went into this project. Check out the video to learn more about how the microbiome contributes to growth and immunity during intergenerational undernutrition.
Excited to share my first-author publication! Delving into the complexities of intergenerational undernutrition. Our gnotobiotic model sheds light on the importance of intergenerational colonization in shaping growth and immune responses at maturity. @Ccowardin #Microbiome
