Microbiology students, postdocs, PIs, register now for this conferences in September 2023. Hard to match this exceptional list of 22 outstanding speakers.

I ventured into the new world of RNA at Jörg Vogel with great support from Claudia Höbartner Lars Barquist Jakob Jung & the other co-authors! Preprint: A side-by-side comparison of peptide-delivered antisense antibiotics employing different nucleotide mimics biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What will be the best modality for programmable RNA antibiotics? In our new work, we’ve compared half a dozen RNA, DNA and analogous molecules, looking at how good they are at suppressing an essential gene/mRNA in Salmonella. Encouraging results! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The future of Indian physics is bright!

Make way for the new generation of medicinal chemists...Paramita Sarkar was interviewed by Nature Communications Please RT as much as you can... nature.com/articles/s4146…

What an honour to have shared a meeting room with this living legend!

Don't lose a chance to contribute to the future of Therapeutics

Such a positive person... unique career path

Two award winners at this year's OTS from Jörg Vogel and Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI) 🎉🏆 Antibacterial ASOs are making an impact. 💪

Pub-quizzing might add a different flavour to science. Please reach out if you want to discuss possibilities.

I wish someone had told me what to expect when I embarked on a scientific career. May be this would help all the young scientists brimming with energy to choose wisely. Feel free to share. Opinions are mine. Feedback welcome! link.medium.com/uWKHrdbCJGb

Views and methods are my own. It might help a few who struggle to get the first draft in. medium.com/@chandradhish/…

Finally...

🌟 NEW! We are super excited to announce our collaboration with Tinkle Magazine to bring you an inspiring series of comics featuring brilliant women scientists from our institute! 👩‍🔬 The first comic features Dr. Deepti Trivedi, who heads the Drosophila facility at NCBS.

We are organising a mini conference on the diverse applications of Antisense oligonucleotides to manipulate bacteria. Apart from a stellar line-up, Würzburg itself offers a beautiful setting. Spread the word and join us.

I am glad I can finally share this: Non-genetic mRNA silencing reveals essential genes in phage-host interplay. Enabled discovery of new important genes of Pseudomonas jumbo phage phiKZ. Also works for defense systems, clinical isolates. Read here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our preprint Jörg Vogel 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗡𝗔 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗲-𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg Helmholtz Institute Würzburg (HIRI) New Concepts in Prokaryotic Virus-Host Interaction #biotech #microbio #phage

Proud moment for me. My first mentee is starting his own lab. I will expect nothing but great discoveries and excellent scientists from his lab.

As someone who has closely observed the journey, I know how difficult it was to move from a med chem lab to a mol bio lab. But like always Paramita Sarkar has excelled. Check this preprint out, potentially it will solve the fundamental problem of bacterial ASO delivery.

We are hiring a PhD The University of Edinburgh School of Engineering to work on the bottom-up design and construction of synthetic cells using #microfluidics and #lipid membranes. Lab is based at the Institute for Bioengineering. #synbio eng.ed.ac.uk/studying/degre… Please RT!
