HBCU-SROP Summer Student

The Wolfgang Lab is excited to host Joshua McLaurin, a rising senior Fayetteville State University, this summer as part of UNC’s HBCU bridge Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP). Josh will gain experience in Pseudomonas genetics as he works on using transposon mutagenesis to identify novel genes involved in antibiotic tolerance.

MAMPM 2023

The Wolfgang Lab had a blast at the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Microbial Pathogenesis Meeting in Wintergreen, VA! There were many outstanding talks and posters throughout the whole Meeting! We had excellent poster presentations from Taylor Franklin, Isaac Hughes, Matt Greenwald, and Matt Higgs. Cristian Roca also gave a great talk about understanding transcriptional heterogeneity of Pseudomonas in response to mucus. Additionally, Matt Greenwald was selected as this year’s recipient of the Mark Shirtliff Excellence in Biofilm Research Award!

Happy New Year!

The Wolfgang Lab wishes everyone a Happy New Year. To start out the new year, we tried our hand at some agar art. Not too bad for a first attempt, but thankfully we have all year to improve for next time! We are looking forward to a fun and productive science-filled 2023!
