Collaborations

The M2P2 program affords students and post-docs a multi-disciplinary environment in which they can benefit from constructive collaboration with other researchers. This strength in collaborative research is one of the key reasons why people are attracted to our program.

In the past year, there were more than 36 collaborative papers published among M2P2 labs! The number of collaborative projects increases markedly when you include collaborative projects between involving M2P2 labs and groups outside of M2P2 (e.g. with colleagues in Math, Computer Science, Engineering, or clinical departments at Dartmouth Health), or at other institutions.

Recent publications (2021-2022) highlight many diverse collaborations and co-publications involving:

  • the Ross and Nadell Labs on interspecies interactions in bone infections
  • the labs of Bliska and Schartzman on Burkolderia cepacia in cystic fibrosis
  • the Cheung and Rigby groups on neutrophils on Staphylococcus aureus killing
  • the Hogan and Schultz Labs on the evolution of microbes in chronic infections
  • the Stanton, Ashare, Hogan, and Nadell Labs on small RNA signaling in chronic infections
  • the Cramer, Schultz and Nadell Labs on Aspergillus biofilm formation in response to cues present in infection
  • the O’Toole, Cramer, Bomberger, Stanton, Hogan, and Ashare Labs on models to study chronic infections
  • the Myers and Hogan Labs on regulators that control the induction of hyphae growth, a morphology that promotes tissue invasion
  • the Obar and Cramer Labs on the host response to Aspergillus germination
  • the Leib and Ackerman Labs on the development of treatments for neonatal herpes
  • the Ross Lab and Anne Hoen’s group on antibiotic resistance in the infant gut microbiome
  • the Hogan and O’Toole Labs on how microbial secreted products or contact with non-motile cells can trigger the down regulation of motility to promote mixed-species or mixed strain communities
  • the Cramer and Zegans Labs on novel anti-fungal approaches for the treatment of corneal infections
  • the Nadell and Hogan Labs on Pseudomonas–Candida interactions in biofilms
  • the groups of O’Toole and Schultz on the evolution of Pseudomonas surface sensing molecules
  • the Nadell and O’Toole labs on carbon limitation effects on biofilms.
  • the Madden and O’Toole groups on a bacterial protein that promote inflammation by degrading immune resolving compounds
  • the Ashare and Hogan Labs on chronic infections of the lung
  • the Noelle and Usherwood Labs have shown an important role for retinoic acid in the defense against virus infection
  • the Madan, Hoen, and O’Toole on the CF infant microbiome
