The Division of Molecular Pathogenesis
MyMP - August 2018
We hope you will take a moment to check out the new Mobile-friendly design format of our newsletter, and that's not all thats new..

Introducing:

Your New Website!

We are very excited to unveil our brand new PMI website, which is live TODAY and can be accessed here.
This will provide a platform for the bright future of the department and our division (which can be found here). The new site gives us a place to showcase the important work you do! It is built on technology that will allow greater modification, can grow with us and can be changed with our evolving needs.
Please take a moment to look around and get to know the new layout. Make sure you check out your new profile in here. All the Divisions can be found here.
Over the next few weeks and months, more features will be added, pages will be updated and redirects from the old website will be complete. We will do our best to keep you in the loop about these developments.
We value your input and feedback, so if you have any comments, suggestions or requests, please send them to James Rudolph.

Congratulations!

The Vanderbilt Institute of Chemical Biology has announced the winners of it's "Highly Cited Articles Award", which was established to recognize members who have published high impact primary research articles as determined by the number of citations over a two-year period. MP's Jonathan Irish and Borden Lacy have been recognized for their articles: 
“Methods for discovery and characterization of cell subsets in high dimensional mass cytometry data”,
K.E. Diggins, P.B. Ferrell, and J.M. Irish, (2015) Methods 82, 55-63.
“Identification of an epithelial cell receptor responsible for Clostridium difficile TcdB-induced cytotoxicity”,
M.E. LaFrance, M.A. Farrow, R. Chandrasekaran, J.S. Sheng, D.H. Rubin, and D.B. Lacy, (2015) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 112, 7073-7078.

Additionally, the following students in the Microbe-Host Interactions PhD Program received the Dean’s Award for Exceptional Achievement:
Katherine Konvinse (Phillips Lab)

Wyatt McDonnell (Mallal Lab)
