Our latest publication in the Journal of General Physiology, made the cover of the magazine, and also got us a press-release online… We are thrilled!
For the press-release, click here.
“If we can understand exactly how this acquisition process works, we can design, isolate or identify small molecules that inhibit the iron uptake process. Those are potentially antimicrobial agents that could protect people and animals against bacterial disease.”
(Phillip Klebba, Professor and Head of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Kansas State University)

Published and a cover! Congratulations to you, Phil and your team. My husband and I have always been interested in your work. I’m an RN and he is a hospital pharmacist. Your discoveries are so hugely important in the battle against infection , bacterial resistance etc. Thank you for doing these important research.

Thank you!!!!! The cover is pretty cool, I think…. our dear receptor, FepA…. When I started working with it, no crystal structure was available, we worked “in the dark” for years. It is amazing to realize how much more we know now, but still…. the basic mechanism of its function eludes us. We get closer and closer…. but… not quite there yet

Game loss. I would not be sad if it was just a loss. It was simply a complete meltdown. Oh, well… science is treating us better than soccer… 😉

I am a very lucky person. Not everyone can work on something that he/she loves. In fact, I think a very small proportion of human beings is as lucky. Research is in many ways one of the most frustrating jobs, but when things finally “make sense”, it is a huge thrill, that keeps us going… and going… and going….

Thank you! Now all I have to do is master the crane. Hey, did you know I am making a little progress on that? Your link is very helpful – I have been trying and now I can lift one leg off the floor, and the other one for 3 seconds, before the whole thing (aka my body) collapses shamelessly. But, I can kind of see the light at the end of the tunnel…..
