This is a collaborative work with the Werth lab at the Department of Pharmacy and Salipante Lab at Laboratory Medicine! Check out the paper at Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy: Occurrence of cross-resistance and β-lactam seesaw effect in glycopeptide-, lipopeptide- and lipoglycopeptide-resistant MRSA correlates with membrane phosphatidylglycerol levels.
Faculty Innovation Fund awarded!
Our lab and Ed Kelly Lab receive a Faculty Innovation Award from UW School of Pharmacy to study the toxicogenetics of benzalkonium chlorides using “liver-kidney-on-chips”! Check out the announcement here!
We are awarded a grant from the Smith-Lemli-Opitz foundation!
This award will help us look at the role of oxysterol detoxification by glutathione S-transferases in Smith-Lenti-Opitz syndrome, a rare disease, but not so rare in terms of carrier frequency (1 in 30)!
