Whether you joined us in Camden or missed the chance to attend, the Proceedings of the Theobald Smith Society 2025 Fall Symposium are now available for download at:
The Proceedings captures the highlights of an exciting day at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, featuring keynote and invited talks, the Young Investigator Award lecture, and 38 posters spanning fundamental, clinical, and environmental microbiology.
You’ll find links to every recorded presentation on the Theobald Smith Society YouTube channel, including:
• Shaun Brinsmade (Georgetown University): Chewing the Fat: Lipids as Second Messengers in Staphylococcus aureus Signal Transduction
• Nadine Alvarez (Hackensack Meridian Health CDI): Genetic and Immunological Profiling of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Subvariants
• Lylla Almosd (Rutgers-New Bruswick): Characterization of Cultivable Bacteria, MRSA, and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Bioaerosols and Manure from Pig and Cow Barns
• Rabindra Khadka (Rutgers-CABM): Stressosome-independent but RsbT-dependent Environmental Stress Sensing in Bacillus subtilis
• Jason H. Yang (Rutgers NJMS): Metabolic Vulnerabilities in Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
• Madhulika Singh & Arpita Mukherjee (Rutgers Waksman Institute): Mechanisms of Stress-Induced Filamentation in E. coli
• DiemQuynh Nguyen (Rutgers Newark): The Gut Microbiome of Honeypot Ants
• Bala Madduri (Rutgers NJMS): Mycobacterium tuberculosis Effector PE5 and Host Endosomal Recycling
You can also explore all the poster abstracts and summaries of many of the poster presentations—from antimicrobial resistance and microbial ecology to viral pathogenesis and host–microbe biology—along with photos of all the presenters as well as the poster award winners.
For those who attended, the Proceedings offer a great way to revisit the talks, cite abstracts, and follow up on emerging collaborations. For those who couldn’t make it, it’s the perfect way to see what you missed and stay connected with New Jersey’s microbiology community.
We encourage you to share the link with colleagues and students who may be interested.
