2027 Bacterial Cell Biology and Development GRC and GRS: conta.cc/4g5mEEx

Glad to receive the trust and recognition in being awarded a Dutch @NWOFunding Rubicon Fellowship for important work on antibiotic resistance. I will be tackling this problem using a combination of biophysics, biochemistry and microbiology in Joe Loparo lab at @harvardmed

Come check out our session at #CellBio2024

hey science friends, in case you didnt already know, everyone is over at the blue place. come on over, its hoppin'!

A blueprint for biomolecular condensation driven by bacterial microcompartment encapsulation peptides biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_molbio

Preprint: My favorite project so far! We describe how encapsulation peptides from bacterial microcompartments trigger biomolecular condensation. We also show the necessary molecular features that guide specific self-assembly of these omnipresent peptides. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy Halloween from the Vecchiarelli Lab!

Did you know that bacteria remember their past for many generations? In this new preprint from us (@VillaniAlexis and Senen Mendoza) and Banin lab (@ShmidovE ), we reveal the "how?" and "why?" underlying a long-standing mystery in bacterial memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Exciting news – we’re hiring! Join our vibrant community, explore new frontiers in biochemistry, and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders. For more information and application link see medschool.umich.edu/sites/de… @UMich, @UMichMedicine, #UMichBiolChem

Application review starts soon - submit now for full consideration! #FacultySearch #UMichBiolChem #GoBlue @UMichMedScience

Some bacteria have linear chromosomes and therefore telomeres. As in eukaryotes, a variety of transposons have evolved to occupy bacterial telomeres and establish addiction mechanisms! 🤯🤯🤯 Amazing story by @JoePetersLab at #cshlTE24 and fantastic work by @PopoMicro

Sooooo, which is it?

The Bartlett Lab is open for business at the Wadsworth Center! We study pathogens with "unusual" shapes (balls & corkscrews) to find vulnerabilities in their growth plans, and learn how bacterial shape impacts infection. We are hiring... join us! wadsworth.org/research/labor…

PREPRINT: Microcompartments are a pain, but we made it easy. In a collaboration with @CellfOrganized and @hoanghamyy, we develop the pXpressome toolkit to let researchers make, edit, and test their own carboxysomes. Don’t stress it, Xpress it! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

3 years ago, my dream job was cancelled. Emily's Wonder Lab helped inspire the next generation of scientists. I pitched dozens of science experiments for more seasons, but they weren't interested. What do you do when your dream is cancelled? You pivot. I turned the experiments into a book series. They became a #1 NYTimes Best Seller. I used all the money I made from the books to hire a production company to help me turn each of the 100 science experiments into a YouTube series. Introducing: Emily's Science Lab. It launches tomorrow. Here's to controlling our own destiny ;) Subscribe here: urlgeni.us/youtube/channel/S…

We've lost one of the best humans and scientists I've ever met way too soon. Kevin Wood was the most sincerely kind, thoughtful, and sharp colleague I had the pleasure to call a friend. If you ever met Kevin, you know exactly what I mean. gofundme.com/f/support-futur…
