Our labs study innate immune regulation during bacterial infection. We focus on interplay between mitochondria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Robbie Watson) and post-transcriptional control of macrophage activation (Kristin Patrick). Views are our own.

1/3 It’s official 🙌🏽 The Reyes Ruiz Lab is opening in 2026 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the Department of Pathobiological Sciences. My lab will focus on host antibacterial effectors and adaptation of bacteria to host-imposed stress during S. aureus infections.

CELF2 suppresses immunostimulatory endogenous RNAs that activate the RIG-I-MAVS pathway in macrophages, preventing type I IFN-signature. Congrats to Julian Smith, Olivia Kern, and all the co-authors for their hard work! #innateimmunity #dsRNA #IFN www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

When reviewing PhD applications this cycle, I made small notes of things that stood out to me. Both good and bad. I think it could be helpful to those considering applying this Fall. gonzales.science/resource-blo...

Seeking input: Our student's active F31-DIV award has been terminated. (more accurately, SRO said that they didn't expect year 2 to be awarded). He is going to submit another proposal for the April deadline. Do we mention the terminated award? Sympathy points? Or increased scrutiny?
