She works with Stephanie A. Fritz, MD a professor of pediatrics at WashU Medicine and a pediatric infectious disease physician at St to identify the kids who are at risk of becoming severely sick from Staphylococcus aureus They are working to identify the unique genetic and immune features that may explain why some kids get really sick while others don’t and identify biomarkers to predict who may need extra support “Such information could help inform our care strategy,” Bubeck Wardenburg said “If we know which kids will struggle with an infection we can use preventive or therapeutic interventions in a manner we can’t right now we may prescribe an expensive monoclonal antibody to protect a patient with high risk for infection or use antibiotics in a way that we don’t typically use on a population level to avoid fostering antibiotic resistance.” She also is working on strategies to prevent staph infections in infants there are no commercially available vaccines to prevent staph After the third major failure of a staph vaccine was announced in 2019 Bubeck Wardenburg – who has been studying the bacterium and how to stop it from making children sick for more than 15 years – had an idea for a solution Most vaccines rely on stimulation of a subset of immune cells – B cells – that produce antibodies to fight bacteria Her research identified the important role of an as-yet-untapped set of immune cells – T cells – in protecting against staph infections But the field has not yet been welcoming to new ideas “With three major failures that cost hundreds of millions of dollars of pharmaceutical investment there is reluctance to consider other approaches,” said Bubeck Wardenburg to a group of aspiring Washington University entrepreneurs at a Women in Innovation & Technology (WIT) Symposium organized by the Office of Technology Management earlier this spring “To shepherd the idea – that I think is both a viable approach and transformatively different than the failed approaches – in a field that was going to push back hard She founded a startup called Forward Defense in 2020 to advance a novel design for a staph vaccine Her team has recently defined the processes by which this vaccine confers protection against disease optimizing the formulation for delivery in early life These studies were published in the fall of 2024 in Nature Communications establishing a foundation for the company’s current focus on production and testing of the vaccine to enable clinical trials Bubeck Wardenburg’s goal is to demonstrate that this new vaccine can confer long-term protection against disease when delivered in the primary vaccine series to infants As Bubeck Wardenburg pursues a solution to staph’s toll on children on a global scale she finds respite from the demands of work locally – in her backyard She began her time at WashU on the Danforth Campus majoring in biology and interested in medicine She was inspired by a course on medicinal plants where they shared stories of their friendship with the Jívaro people of the Peruvian Amazon who taught them traditional herbal medicine techniques Her fascination with medicinal plants never waned Bubeck Wardenburg still owns the book from the Lewises’ course and collects rare breeds of orchids that she cares for from the time they arrive as baby plants in lab beakers she likes to find solace with her furniture-making husband They have been a team since she was 19 years old The couple has three children. Kate Wardenburg, 26, is pursuing her thesis work in the laboratory of Christina Stallings, PhD is a junior studying business at American University in Washington is a freshman at WashU who is interested in a career as a veterinarian or a physician The Wardenburg kids recognized early in life that their mother’s concept of family went beyond their household Kate Wardenburg witnessed parents like the Fahads express immense gratitude for her mother’s dedication and compassion “It is special to see that she means so much to other people,” Kate Wardenburg said Bubeck Wardenburg has become a key figure in young Yahya Fahad’s life The boy’s ongoing medical challenges often bring him to St Yahya has become beloved among the community of nurses and administrative and custodial staff — especially to Bubeck Wardenburg “to express our gratitude for how she has and continues to show up for us.” About Washington University School of Medicine WashU Medicine has a storied history in MD/PhD training recently dedicated $100 million to scholarships and curriculum renewal for its medical students and is home to top-notch training programs in every medical subspecialty as well as physical therapy j.church@wustl.edu Marta Wegorzewska wegorzewskam@wustl.edu She holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from Georgetown University and a PhD in immunology from the University of California She did her postdoctoral work in Washington University’s Department of Pathology & Immunology Marta joined WashU Medicine Marketing & Communications in 2023 after working as a science writer in the Department of Biology on the Danforth Campus for five years Could help determine which patients are likely to benefit from new Alzheimer’s drugs GLP-1 medications tied to decreased risk of dementia At WashU Medicine, we transform lives and shape the future of healthcare through pioneering research, world-class education, and unparalleled patient care.

left in 2010 and coached all over the country at various levels The school announced last Friday that he’ll join women’s basketball coach Amber Whiting’s staff Wardenburg has 33 years of coaching experience on his résumé “I’m so blessed and happy to be back here at BYU.” Wardenburg currently has a temporary office at LaVell Edwards Stadium as renovations are taking place in the coaches’ offices at the Annex He has a great view of the football field and the picturesque mountains When asked about the positive reaction he received from fans former players and others about his return to BYU “The outpouring of support and congratulations have been unbelievable,” he said who is entering her second season at the helm as her team makes the jump to the ultra-competitive Big 12 “Adding John to our coaching staff is going to be a huge help for our program,” said Whiting “He returns to BYU with a wealth of knowledge and experience in building championship programs at every level of college basketball I am excited to have his expertise and for him to help our women reach their full potential.” So what has Wardenburg been up to for the past 13 years he was an assistant to Ken Wagner at BYU-Hawaii where the team played for the Division II national championship his first year with the program Wardenburg took a job at one of the premier junior colleges in the nation whom Wardenburg had coached in Wardenburg’s first year at his first job at Utah’s Payson High in 1988 Peery later became the head coach at Portland State and was an assistant at Texas Tech Indian Hills

took the head coaching job at Bowling Green Wardenburg was the associate head coach at Southern Virginia University Wardenburg moved around a lot over those 13 years where she “has a great job,” Wardenburg said “Pam would come out once a month,” Wardenburg said the couple talked about the toll that being separated due to their job situations was taking a coaching job opened up in the state of Utah BYU assistant Aaron Kallhoff became the head coach at Sacramento State Whiting reached out to Wardenburg because a spot had opened up on her staff he and his son had gone to Las Vegas to watch basketball One of the teams he watched was the BYU women’s team “Not even thinking that I might be coaching them I was just watching them,” Wardenburg said “This one job came open and I ended up turning that job down four times It would have entailed us living apart or her leaving her job I was really blessed that Amber called and said One of the other assistants on Whiting’s staff is Cummard who helped lead the Cougars to three consecutive Mountain West titles from 2007-09 and earned conference player-of-the-year honors in 2008 Wardenburg recruited Cummard to BYU and now they’re reunited on the women’s basketball staff Lee is an example of what BYU can do for a young man or young woman in terms of change,” Wardenburg said “I’m more proud of the fact that Lee is a great father and husband and serving in church callings “One thing that always stood out with Lee Cummard is the fact that the dude never wanted to lose a game He didn’t care about his own personal accolades It’s a trait he has that stands out to me.” Another member of the staff is former BYU women’s basketball star Morgan Bailey “No team will be successful unless their coaching staff is united and connected I’m going to do it to the best of my ability and I’ll support everybody on the staff Wardenburg’s vast experience should help the Cougars as they tackle this new challenge in the Big 12 “I’ve had the opportunity to coach on all three levels of the NCAA and I’ve coached juco and high school My biggest strength to this staff is the fact that there’s very few things that I haven’t seen or experienced,” he said “My biggest strength will be helping Amber prepare and be alert to nuances of the game that perhaps she hasn’t experienced before “I foresee that what I will bring to this staff is the preparation the knowledge of what this coach does or that coach does that can make a difference in a basketball game.” her staff and her players did a “fantastic job” in her first campaign at the helm The Cougars finished 16-17 and played a game in the WNIT “The biggest thing that drew me to this job was the fact that there is such a great base that was developed from the past year,” Wardenburg said He was impressed with the performances of several players, including forward Lauren Gustin who earned WCC Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors Gustin led the country in rebounding (16.5) and broke the league’s all-time single-game rebounding record with 27 against USF in the WCC tournament Gustin entered the transfer portal earlier this spring but decided to return to BYU Wardenburg is also looking forward to working with returning players like Nani Falatea “They have a year under their belt,” he said “They all bring great things that we can build on.” Meanwhile, the Cougars are welcoming several highly touted recruits this season, including Whiting’s daughter, Amari; Oregon transfer Jennah Isai; Lone Peak star Kailey Woolston the 6A Deseret News Player of the Year; and Ali’a Matavao “Amber and her staff have gone out and gotten some really high-level recruits she would have been playing in the Women’s McDonald’s All-American game,” Wardenburg said “Any team would be happy to have those types of recruits with those accolades We’ve got a chance to be deep and really surprise people with how good we’re going to be.” While a learning curve is expected for BYU going into a new league Wardenburg is confident that the women’s basketball team will be successful You have to have girls that can play and we’re getting there “Then it’s putting those kids together with the right culture and playing connected to each other and that’s our job as coaches I believe that winning will come a lot sooner than perhaps people think While Wardenburg has spent his career coaching men’s teams “We all play with a basketball and we have to pass and dribble and shoot and defend “There are some nuances and I’m excited to be taught and to learn One thing to me never changes — these ladies know that I love them and I want them to succeed on and off the floor Just like I did with whatever player I’ve ever coached I want them to be better than they thought they could be this time as a women’s assistant basketball coach “I love this institution and what it stands for,” he said “I’ve seen so many changes that have occurred in players that I coached here and in my own life coming to school here I’m so excited to have a chance to be back here.” Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting In order to provide students with a better patient experience, Medical

a blessing it has been to be part of so many families some for generations!” Ms Wardenburg said in her letter addressed to family and friends of the school Ms Wardenburg was innately drawn to dancing through her love of music and desire to be a Rockette she was enrolled in the Lathrop School of Dance and her 60-year journey pursuing her talent and passion began The couple had a successful stage and vaudeville career performing in top venues all over the world and opened the school when they made their permanent home in Newtown Ms Wardenburg distinctly remembers the very moment Mrs Lathrop asked her to become a dance teacher I stood backstage — I was getting ready for one of my solos — and Mrs Lathrop said to me sure’ then went home and [enthusiastically] said I was asked to teach!’” she recalled with great emphasis While Mr Lathrop taught Ms Wardenburg the business side of running the school Mrs Lathrop focused on teaching her about dance and instilled many valuable life lessons in her “Enjoy your life and laugh,” was some of Mrs Lathrop’s advice Mrs Lathrop was also an advocate for education and to never stop learning In addition to accomplishing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Recreation & Community Fitness with a Minor in Dance from Southern Connecticut State University Ms Wardenburg is a graduate of Dance Educators of America Ms Wardenburg became Mrs Lathrop’s assistant The duo worked together until Mrs Lathrop’s death in November 2009 Even though Ms Wardenburg was proficiently trained to step into the role of director she understood the gravity that she had some impressive dance shoes to fill “The transition from a teacher to the director at first was scary because I was taking over for Mrs Lathrop,” she said and throughout the last decade not only honored the legacy that Mr and Mrs Lathrop had created but also excelled at making the Lathrop School of Dance a beloved staple in the community The Lathrop School of Dance has continued its annual Stardust Revue and has been part of countless town gatherings like the Labor Day Parade the Newtown Lions Club’s Great Pootatuck Duck Race Ms Wardenburg’s biggest joy over the years has been “to watch

cast myself into some new roles.” Mary Ann Grogan; and all the parents of students for their phenomenal support Ms Wardenburg hopes everyone will give Ms Saric the same love and dedication she felt through the years and wishes her successor the very best Newtown resident “Miss Tamra” Saric started at Lathrop School of Dance at the age of 3 and joined the faculty when she was in her senior year of high school Ms Saric recalled that even though she was not the most prompt student — always late for class and forgetting her costume — everyone was always patient and encouraging with her It was at Lathrop that she not only gained valuable experience honing her craft but also formed many cherished friendships that continue to this day Even though Ms Saric had a passion for dance she did not know it was her path in life until faced with a life without it After going to Western Connecticut State University for marketing she got hired at New York Life Insurance Company and began to understand how important continuing at Lathrop meant to her “I realized I’m already where I’m supposed to be,” Ms Saric said she has been with Lathrop School of Dance for three decades which allowed her to have spent many cherished moments with the school’s original matriarch From scooping strawberry ice cream for Mrs Lathrop to celebrating occasions with champagne Ms Saric appreciated getting to have those special times with her Mrs Lathrop was known for her affinity for champagne we were all sitting around making phone calls and my husband said Upon picking up one of Mrs Lathrop’s unopened champagne bottles they realized something peculiar — the bottle was only half full I’ll let you know I’m okay,’” Ms Wardenburg said of her mentor’s sign from above the Lathrop School of Dance office

singing and other church activities.” Fellow longtime friend Lynn Lewis began dancing at Lathrop School of Dance 38 years ago and currently helps with the school’s recitals she has always admired how
