My first week as an intern at Genentech has been such an amazing experience! 🧬
I'm thrilled to be working in the Infectious Diseases Department, under the guidance of Dr. Eric M. Kofoed in the Man-Wah Tan Lab. The energy and science here are so inspiring, and I can't wait to dive deeper

A small periplasmic protein governs broad physiological adaptations in Vibrio cholerae via regulation of the DbfRS two-component system - Nature Communications
A two-component system, DbfRS, regulates biofilm formation in Vibrio cholerae. Here, Nguyen et al. identify a small periplasmic protein that controls the activity of the system’s receptor, and show th...

Honored to have presented my work on the DbfQRS pathway at the 2025 #ASMBiofilms Conference! Sharing research from the Bridges Lab and connecting with many brilliant minds in the field was such an inspiring experience. Grateful for the opportunity and energized for what's next!

Had a chance to present my work at the Gordon Research Conference on Microbial Adhesion and Signal Transduction. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to listen to inspiring talks, make new connections, receive advice, and engage in meaningful discussions in such a dynamic and supportive environment!

Check out our lab's latest work in @plos.bsky.social, which reveals biofilm dispersal patterns using FAP-fluorogen labeling approach.

Excited to share our latest, "Biofilm dispersal patterns revealed using far-red fluorogenic probes." @plos.bsky.social We developed a cell-labeling strategy using far-red dyes to image dense microbial communities (where fluorescent proteins often do not work well) journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Biofilm dispersal patterns revealed using far-red fluorogenic probes
Bacteria frequently colonize niches by forming multicellular communities called biofilms. To explore new territories, cells exit biofilms through an active process called dispersal. Biofilm dispersal ...

Thrilled to have presented my research in the lab of @bridgesbio.bsky.social at three conferences this year: Bacteria and Phages, ABASM, and Rust Belt Microbiome. Grateful for the chance to share my work and connect with inspiring scientists. Can't wait to see what future conferences bring!
