SC Branch ASM Meeting - April 2010
The McNealy lab was well represented at the Spring Branch Meeting. Posters were presented by Uma, Jon and Tara as well as by undergrad Rebecca and high school student Chrissie. The judges were interested and impressed by the work being done by these talented students. Everyone also enjoyed a great tour of the NOAA and Hollings Marine Labs and Facilities.
ASM Annual Biodefense Meeting, Baltimore, MD Feb 21-23 2010
An abstract from the lab was selected for oral presentation at the Biodefense meeting in February. Dr. McNealy will be traveling to Baltimore to present the latest results from our investigations on F. tularensis and mosquito interactions.
SC Branch ASM Meeting
Uma presented her research at the SC Branch ASM meeting in an oral presentation that was awarded first place for graduate student presentations. Congrats!
We're looking forward to presentations from Uma, Tara, Jon and Rebecca at the spring Branch meeting in Charleston, April 16-17th!
Dr. McNealy recently returned from an extended travel thorough Europe. She presented the lab's research at two conferences:
The 2009 International Tularemia Meeting in Berlin, Germany and The 2009 Legionella Conference at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France. The work was very well received in both venues. Congrats to all members of the lab who were part of this effort.
Conference Presentations!
The lab had a busy day on April 4th - students presenting at two different conferences! Ashley presented her work at the HHMI sponsored SC Life Symposium and Zack, Luke, Marie and Uma presented theirs at the SC Branch ASM Meeting. A very successful weekend was had by all. Check out the photos of the presentations in the photo album under this tab!
ASM 2008. David and Tim and Dr. McNealy will be traveling to Boston the first week of June for the American Society of Microbiology General Meeting. David and Tim will present a poster of their work on Francisella biofilms. Watch for pictures here after the meeting.
*Update* ASM 2008 was a success. David and Tim had lots of visitors and very positive feedbak during the poster presentation! See our photos page for pictures at the poster session and more.
Graduation 2008. one of our lab members is moving on - Tim Furphy graduated on May 9th with degree in Microbiology. He was also awarded the Departmental Faculty Award for Microbiology Seniors - this awarded is given to a senior microbiology student nominated by the faculty who has been exceptional in research and classwork. Tim will begin a Masters in Public Health program in Pittsburgh in August. Congrats Tim!
SC Life - April 2008. David and Daniel presented research at the annual SC Life meeting in Columbia in April. Both the oral presentations and posters generated pleny of interest. It was a strong ending to a successful year of research

New Creative Inquiry Opportunity!
Biofilms and Nanoparticles
Join in the project to investigate the meeting of two hot fields in science. Whether your interests lie in microbiology, ecology, physics or engineering there will be something in this project for you!
Interested students should contact one of the instructors listed below for more information:
Dr. Mike Henson: hhenson@clemson.edu
Dr. Tamara McNealy: tmcneal@clemson.edu
Dr. Steve Klaine: sklaine@clemson.edu
Both David and Daniel have been awarded the chance to participate in the SC Life Undergraduate Program. This award will allow both to participate in a workshop to develop their presentation skills and another weekend to present their work in front of their peers. We look forward to good things out of both research projects.
HHMI International Research Experience
January 2007
David was recently awarded the SC Life HHMI International Research Experience Grant. The grant will allow David to travel to Croatia this summer and spend 6 weeks working in the lab of Dr. Marina Santic at the University of Rijeka. She also works on the bacteria Francisella tularensis as the McNealy lab does - but Dr. Santic concentrates her work on unraveling the mechanisms of cell death including apoptosis, pyroptosis and autophagy. David will benefit from the Santic lab expertise in confocal laser scanning and electron microscopy in dissecting various aspects of manipulations of the cell by F. tularensis. Congratulations David!"
