ISB researchers show that oxidative stress generated by the host immune system can prime tuberculosis bacteria to rapidly evolve antibiotic resistance, revealing how resistance may begin before treatment.
ISB researchers help reveal a previously hidden layer of the human proteome, identifying a new class of protein-like molecules known as “peptideins” with potential implications for cancer, immunotherapy, and human disease.
ISB researchers reveal a darker side of targeted therapy: the same oncogene inhibition that shuts down cancer growth program can also ignite a stress-driven identity switch — revealing an early escape route that may shape the future of cancer treatment
ISB researchers use single-cell sequencing to reveal hidden defenses against bacteriophages — and introduce a powerful new way to study phage-microbe interactions.
New research from ISB’s Gibbons Lab shows that computer models of gut metabolism can predict whether probiotics will successfully establish in an individual’s microbiome and how dietary prebiotics shape health-related molecules in the gut. The findings point toward a future of more personalized, predictable microbiome-based interventions.
ISB Professor Dr. Nitin Baliga has been elected to the American Academy of Microbiology as part of the 2026 Fellowship Class — a highly selective honor recognizing exceptional scientific achievement and leadership in the microbial sciences. Baliga joins 62 peers from 14 countries selected through a rigorous peer-review process.
