🚨🚨I'm proud to present our lab's first peer-reviewed paper, out at Cell Host & Microbe🥳. We started out by asking a basic question about mucus secretion, and discovered something surprising about genetic risk to inflammatory bowel diseases (#IBD). A🧵/1 cell.com/cell-host-micr…

I’m so excited to see my first first-author paper finally out 🥳!! A special thanks to my amazing mentor Shai Bel and all my friends in the Bel lab for their tremendous support!!

A bunch of nerds dances with name tags 🤣 #FIBES2023

Weekend celebrations 🤮

🚨🚨 Gather ‘round children, it’s Bel lab story time! This one is called “tricking the trickster”. It tells the story of how we found a way to foil the evil plans of the master manipulator, Salmonella typhimurium. A 🧵 /1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨🚨In these difficult times we tried to put on our happy faces to celebrate Mor Zigdon's "accepted in principle" paper with our friends at Bar- Ilan Faculty of Medicine 💐🎊🎉

אוהבת את החברים שלי, הלוואי ותשארו לתמיד ❤️

The gut #microbiome protects us against #pathogens, but Mor Zigdon Shai Bel &co show that #Salmonella triggers IL-1β production, inducing the host to kill protective microbiota, helping Salmonella colonize, & driving mortality during sepsis #PLOSBiology plos.io/421XEp3

🚨🚨I'm excited to share our new paper out now in PLOS Biology! We found that Salmonella tricks us into killing its competitors, the gut microbiota, by inducing IL-1b production. This allows Salmonella to remodel the gut niche to it's advantage. A 🧵/1 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Our study was led by the wonderful Mor Zigdon, with help from Bel lab members. Mor bravely did the revision in the lab which became a war zone. Imagine running to the bomb shelter when sirens goes off while you're in the middle of loading a 384 plate! /5

Another excellent work by the perfect team that I had the privilege of being a part of, with the most champion P.I in the world

A fascinating paper by the amazing Ronit Ilouz and Tal Benjamin Zukerman, and the beloved Ilouz lab, about the mutation that is already impossible to forget 🤩
