Proud moment for the lab. Karishma Bisht, today became the first student from the lab to graduate with a Ph.D.! She gave a fantastic defense talk via Zoom on the 25th of June. We are super proud of her and she has certainly set a high bar for future Wakeman Lab graduate students. Congratulations and we wish her the very best for her postdoc research at Princeton University!

Dr. Wakeman is the guest editor for a special issue of Pathogens MDPI focused on “Microbial interactions during infection” . Submit to this special issue folks. It is a very fascinating topic.
Finally we have a new lab logo designed by Karishma Bisht, a PhD student in the lab. We all love it.
