Fall Rotation Student

We are excited to have first-year BBSP graduate student Ida Alam join us for a fall lab rotation. Ida will be working on modeling and understanding viral infection induced pulmonary exacerbations in the context of preexisting chronic bacterial lung infections.

SOLAR Poster Session

Summer undergraduate student, Claire Reist, concluded her time in the Wolfgang lab by presenting her research project at the UNC SOM Summer Undergraduate Symposium. Congratulations, Claire, on being an extremely hard worker and exceptional lab member. Claire will now return to her undergraduate studies at Rollins College for her senior year.

Pseudomonas Conference

Members of the Wolfgang lab attended The International Biennial Conference, Pseudomonas 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia. It was amazing to be surrounded by so many Pseudomonas microbiologists. Matt Higgs and Cristian Roca gave outstanding oral talks and Matthew Greenwald fascinated the crowd with his poster.

Proposal selected as finalist for the Creativity Hubs Pilot Award program

Our proposal to establish a Center for Therapeutic Systems Biology of Respiratory Infections Diseases (CTSB-RID) at UNC has been selected as a finalist for the Creativity Hubs Pilot Award program at UNC. The CTSB-RID will assist UNC researchers and clinicians in tackling the next pandemic. The Center aims to investigate the underlying cellular and molecular signaling pathways that account for respiratory viral disease and differential outcomes at the clinical level.
