Research by Malvankar lab makes cover of Cell Chemical Biology

The Malvankar lab at the Yale Microbial Sciences Institute is pleased to share their recent work highlighted on the cover of Cell Chemical Biology. The research by first author and Postdoctoral Associate Cong Shen, PhD, examines extracellular electron transfer (EET) in microbes and establishes “the mechanism and prevalence of a specialized and modular assembly system for nanowires across phylogenetically diverse species and environments”.
