Excited to share our multigenerational restriction inactivation story is live! Such a fun collab sparked by aligned conclusions across labs and generations! (bacterial & human😉). Bacterial-phage evolution never ceases to fascinate!

I am very proud to share our paper on Tad1/Tad2 sponges, which appeared to be multifunctional anti-defense proteins that inhibit many different signaling-based immunity systems!💫 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Passionate about RNA biology and bacteria? The Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellowship offers a fantastic opportunity for international scientists to join my lab! If you are interested in cutting-edge research, reach out to me! azrielifoundation.org/wp-content/upl… Please RT Regulating with RNAs in Bacteria and Archaea

Interested in phages? Live in the Bay Area & feel like spending a morning at Stanford? You're invited to a special phage seminar with 2 of my favorite phage profs, visiting us all the way from Europe: Speakers: Joana Azeredo (University of Minho) Joana Azeredo & Martin J.

I'm thrilled to announce our latest work is now published in Cell! Viruses encode numerous proteins that inhibit host defenses, but identifying immune-modulatory proteins among millions of viral sequences has been nearly impossible - until now! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

In their memory.

The convoy carrying the body believed to be of Shiri Bibas arrives at Israel’s national forensic center in Tel Aviv. It’s 2:45 am on Shabbat and dozens of Israelis came to pay last respects to who they hope is Shiri. 🇮🇱🎗️

Happy to share our new preprint describing prophage encoded anti-phage defense system,TERi, that targets the terminase complex of invading phages to inhibit DNA packaging. The system also encode self immunity proteins that protect the prophage. biorxiv.org/content/biorxi…

Registration is still open… Join us in “viruses across domains of life”.

My lab was totally destroyed tonight by an Iranian missile. Nobody was hurt. Flies, plasmids, cells, equipment - all gone. Heart breaking. If during the course of the past 16 years, you have received something from my lab - please keep them safe.

I am still in denial. But in general, we will rebuild. Not only the lab, but also society and our country. The first thing that needs to happen is elections as we need a new leadership.

Our lab at the Weizmann Institute was hit tonight by Iran We will rebuild and return 💪

48h since lab destroyed 😭😭 People safe, thx god. Deeply thankful Michael Baumann, MD DKFZ & Otmar_Wiestler HelmholtzAssociation for reaching out to us w leadership & support. Will continue updating on support and leadership, while considering w colleagues our next chapter- suggestions?

When we came to see our destroyed labs hit by an Iranian missile, we found that a piano had survived Weizmann Institute

Incredible news out of the Weizmann Institute, just days after Iranian missiles destroyed parts of its campus. The European Research Council (ERC AdG) announced its latest grant winners. Israel took home 12. Weizmann alone won 6! To put that in perspective: Oxford University,

We are rebuilding 💪 nature.com/articles/d4158…

1. Final version of our paper on a basic tradeoff in anti-phage defense has just been published - rdcu.be/exN0X Thread with key points quoted below 👇
