Gabrielle Keb, a third year Ph.D. student, recently published her innovative work building on a method developed in the Fields lab termed Fluorescence Reported Allelic Exchange Mutagenesis (FRAEM). Gabby engineered a CRE-lox system for generation of marker-less gene deletions in Chlamydia. Importantly, this elegant approach relieves polar effects on down-stream genes and enables a more definitive assessment of null phenotypes. The manuscript appears in Journal of Bacteriology (PMID: 30224436) and was chosen as a spotlight article. The commentary (PMID: 30297356), authored by Drs.

Alzheimer's disease wreaks emotional havoc on patients, who are robbed of their memories, their dignity and their lives. It’s financially devastating as well: care for Alzheimer's patients is predicted to top $1 trillion by about the time children born today are having children of their own.
