Collega Noortje Dannenberg heeft zojuist een interessant verhaal verteld over niet-detecteerbare mycobacteriën tijdens het Instituut of Biology Leiden LeidenBiology symposium. Hiervoor gebruikt zij oude technieken die ze tijdens een stage in Indonesië geleerd heeft. Spannend!

Great talk from Noortje Dannenberg at the LeidenBiology Symposium. It is inspiring to see all research that’s going on inside and outside of the institute 🙃

Enjoying our time at RRB 🙃 always a great pleasure to present a poster. #RRB2022

Ejoying #RRB2022 at the beautiful city of #Bruges 🇧🇪. Innovating green chemistry and biotechnology, and a bit of leisure 😄🥂 with @PlasticPhD and Qing Zhou and many colleagues from all over #Europe. All for #Biobased_Innovation LeidenBiology RRB Conference

Guess who is participating in a beer tapping competition BrouwerijDeHalveMaan BrugseZot ? @PlasticPhD RRB Conference

Our paper just got published in royal society open biology🥳 In this article we show that cell wall-deficiency provides a reversible defense mechanism against phage attack! So proud that our tomogram is featured on the cover as well 😊royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Very happy to be part of this recently published work! Check out how we found through GWAS that specific non-cheese related strains of Penicillium roqueforti are extremely resistant against sorbic acid due to a large genomic gene cluster (named SORBUS) -> journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Today was the first day of the EFB Biotechnology biocatalysis conference where I was allowed to give a talk on one of our research lines 🥳 very nice first day, and super excited for tomorrow 😊

Hallo #phage lovers! We are looking for a molecular microbiologist for a #PhD position using #phage to discover novel antibacterial targets in #phagebio group at university of Copenhagen, online applications only jobportal.ku.dk/alle-opslag/?s…

Finally it’s out!! 🥳 In this paper we discuss the megaplasmid of P. putida S12; it’s transferability, mobile elements & how it obtained resistances to environmental stressors like heavy metals & aromatic compounds.

⚡️Check out our new paper in Scientific Reports. We sequenced and analysed a new bacteriophage species called Streptomyces phage Pablito. Yes, it was indeed named after my cat!😸 doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Do you know a talented master student interested in joining #teamtomo, studying an exciting pathogen using Fib, tomography. Cryo-Clem in a great research team? We have a PhD position waiting for the right candidate!

Two postdoc and one PhD positions in my lab on European Research Council (ERC) advanced grant. Please see here: 1. Postdoc Chemical Ecology universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2023… 2. Postdoc Streptomyces Development universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2023… 3. PhD Carbon Control of Antibiotic Production universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2023…

Finally it’s out! In this paper, we discussed our experiences & troubleshooting efforts in combining CRISPRi & CRISPRa in one circuit.

So so happy to see Renée Kapteijn, PhD proudly holding her thesis 🥰. She is a meticulous and creative scientist with an eye for detail. I had an amazing time working with her in Leiden. Moreover she is a gem of a person, brings people together & very thoughtful as well! Hire her 🫶🏼
