Our lab’s newest minted doctor! 🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Karla Martinez Nevarez on successfully defending her PhD. We are so proud of all your hard work and accomplishments 🎓
Exciting news! Our latest paper is out in Nature Communications! 🎉 Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. He Sun and colleagues reveal how a bacterial pore-forming toxin induces spatially confined cytoskeletal remodeling to promote cell-to-cell spread. nature.com/articles/s4146…
On Tuesday, we were thrilled to welcome back our very first graduate student, Aimee Shen (@ShenLabTufts)! She gave a phenomenal talk to our department on her lab’s work on C. diff. Such a pleasure to have you back at HMS!
Our other amazing Du Bois Scholars Fellow, Beverly, wrapped up the summer with a great presentation on her Lm screen! Great job and best of luck with your final year of undergrad and future endeavors!
Huge shoutout to our amazing Du Bois Scholars Fellow, Justin, for his awesome presentation on conserved virulence gene expression across Lm strains! Thanks for all your hard work and best of luck with med school apps! You’ve got this!
Shoutout to our amazing Summer Honors Undergraduate Research Program (SHURP) fellow Ariel for a stellar summer presentation on Lm brain infection. Good luck with PhD applications this fall, you’ll crush it!
What better way to end the summer internship than with some hot pot! Big thanks to Justin, Beverly, and Ariel for joining us this summer and doing amazing science!
Lab lunch and bowling for our ‘No Worries’ day — we had a blast! 🎳 This summer we’re also excited to have three awesome undergraduate interns. Looking forward to another month of great science with Ariel, Justin, and Beverly!
Our lab had the pleasure of hosting our long-time collaborator, John Brumell, at our Department’s Faculty Seminar Talk today! Thanks for coming to Harvard to share your science — we really enjoyed hearing about the fantastic cell biology work coming out of your lab!
G4 PhD student Bri Manning gave an excellent presentation on her research work at our Department seminar today! Great audience interaction and follow-up discussion on the future progression of the studies. We are all looking forward to hearing more!!
Just an amazing talk on even more impressive work. My head is still spinning!
Our lab had the pleasure of hosting @AnatHerskovits for our department seminar today! Your talk was outstanding and very engaging. Thanks for sharing your work with us on pathogen-phage cooperation. We hope you enjoyed connecting with our faculty and trainees here at HMS!

Happy to share our new preprint describing prophage encoded anti-phage defense system,TERi, that targets the terminase complex of invading phages to inhibit DNA packaging. The system also encode self immunity proteins that protect the prophage. biorxiv.org/content/biorxi…
The Higgins Lab is excited to welcome our new PhD student, Karla Martinez Nevarez! Karla delivered a fantastic talk on her dissertation plans at the GPiB Retreat last Friday. We’re thrilled to have her join our lab family and look forward to her contributions.
Today we celebrate the conclusion of Jacquelle's journey in our lab with lunch! 🎉 It's been incredible to watch her grow and contribute so much to our research. While this chapter may be closing, we’re excited to see all the amazing opportunities that lie ahead for her!
Our outstanding Du Bois Scholar, Jacquelle Joseph-Lainez, delivered a fantastic talk on her summer project, which focused on the conservation of virulence gene upregulation in the presence of a host factor!
Lab lunch to celebrate completing spring cleaning in the lab!
Our lab hosted @shames_lab for our department seminar series yesterday. Thanks for giving such a phenomenonal talk and we hope you enjoyed your time at HMS!
#MicrobiologyMonday: Some bacteria trigger formation of host membrane protrusions that poke into neighboring cells & blip off into vacuoles harboring bacteria, which emerge and trigger additional intracellular spread. Learn more in #IAIJournal: asm.social/1PZ
Our post-holiday party was a success with lots of food and gaming!
