Assistant Professor at Dept of Microbiology and Immunology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Interested in mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis.https://bsky.app/profile/volkankoseoglu.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/volkankoseoglu.bsky.social/post/3mnavsvwbn223The first peer-reviewed paper from my lab! We found that Shigella forms invasive aggregates via a T3SS-dependent mechanism in the presence of a colonic bile acid, lithocholic acid. Very excited to follow up on these findings... #Shigella #T3SS #BileAcids https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/iai.00665-2501 Jun 2026 20:21 +0000at://did:plc:ckmrxfbykwntaxlfithjjqf6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnavsvwbn223https://bsky.app/profile/volkankoseoglu.bsky.social/post/3m6xm5prjfs2oActivation of the Yersinia type III secretion system induces large-scale spatial reorganization of chromosomal and virulence plasmid DNA: Cell Reports https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247%2825%2901364-601 Dec 2025 23:42 +0000at://did:plc:ckmrxfbykwntaxlfithjjqf6/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6xm5prjfs2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/volkankoseoglu.bsky.social/post/3m6idlbhnwk2zExcited to share our lab’s first preprint!
