I’m thrilled to announce that the Neugent Lab will officially set sail on May 1st, 2026!
I am joining the Department of Urology at the University of Rochester Medical Center @URMCUrology as a tenure-track assistant professor. My lab will investigate how we can manipulate the ecosystem of host/microbiome interfaces to impact urologic health.
Our work will bridge the spectrum from benign, malignant, and infectious diseases.
I'm honored to join the @URMCUrology team and can't wait to get to work. Stay tuned for updates on recruitment opportunities as we build our team of scientists!

#MicrobiologyMonday: Bunsen burners are used to reduce airborne contamination. Data in #JournalSpectrum suggest the practice is not evidence-based and, except in some cases, Bunsen burners can be removed from practice w/o compromising research integrity. asm.social/33D
ALT Several resources suggest that an active Bunsen burner flame produces convection currents, which in turn push contaminated air up and away from a work area proximal to the burner.

2 identical mice. Same infection & bacterial load, but only 1 lives. Why? #HHMIInvestigator Janelle Ayres spent decades finding out. Her answer — survival can come through cooperating w/, not killing, pathogens — may reshape how we treat infectious disease bit.ly/4qsuWJW

TRAINEE SUMMER CAMP SESSION HIGHLIGHT
This week we're spotlighting: Five Minute Elevator Talks guided by Lindsey Burnett, MD, PhD.
Dr. Burnett is a Urogynecologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at University of California, San Diego. Her research applies her expertise in cellular and molecular biology to the understanding of how metabolism impacts pelvic floor disorders including pelvic organ prolapse, recurrent urinary tract infections, urinary and fecal incontinence. On Friday, June 26 at 3pm Eastern, Dr. Burnett will give tailored feedback to trainees presenting their research as 5 minute elevator talks.
Advance registration and poster submission for 5 minute talk session is required. Learn more: buff.ly/MO2domL
