📢What about a new PI(3,5)P2 reporter? With Jason King we identify a new #Dicty PIP2 binding protein, SnxA, and reveal PIKfyve dynamics and regulation during phagosome maturation in mammalian cells and Dicty Our collaboration is in Journal of Cell Biology rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Great opportunity for our collaborator Olivier Kirchhoffer from the Wolfender lab UNIGE_en to present his work on natural extracts A valuable collaboration! linkedin.com/posts/olivier-…

Finally out! My first first author paper 🥳

🎉 We are delighted to announce that our group has been granted of an Swiss National Science Foundation grant to work on the virulence strategies of pathogenic mycobacteria and cell-autonomous host defence mechanisms. We are happy to continue our strong contribution to the field with our unique model !

It's official🤩! I'm looking for an excellent PhD student and a research assistant in molecular neuroscience and membrane biophysics to support my NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence project at the FMP Berlin in the fantastic interdisciplinary department led by Haucke lab. Please repost!

Happy ton share our recent article in PNAS on how cooperation and cheating behaviors orchestrate Vibrio assemblages in the Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to introduce our novel cholesterol biosensor "GRAM-W" Nature Communications. Successfully visualized cholesterol in live cells, including neurons. Congrats to Dylan Koh, Tomoki, Minyoung! Thanks to the Lim and Zhong labs LKCMedicine for collaborations. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Today it’s Lebanese food for the Soldati group ! 👌🎉 We love having people from all around the world and sharing food! Nabil Hanna

Wonderful talk from Priscille Brodin today at Faculty of Science | UNIGE 20 years of drugs discovery against Tuberculosis and 20 years of amazing science ! 💊 Thanks for visiting us !

With CHARMM-GUI Turner Brown and W Im we wrote a persepective on modeling the mycobacterial cell envelope pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

🎉 With a bit a delay, we finally broke the pot for the Escalade celebration ! And enjoyed the Christmas party with the crazy biochemistry department 🎄

Out today in Nature Biotechnology! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… Martin Lercher

🫕The whole group gathered around a Swiss fondue to get 2024 off to a good start! May the magic of cheese bring us good ideas and results 🪄

🎓👏Congratulations to the talented Jahn Nitschke for successfully defending his PhD thesis yesterday! A brilliant journey through genome wide and large-scale anti-infective discoveries. Hard work and dedication always paid off! Many more successes ahead! Faculty of Science | UNIGE pic.x.com/cpIQ1zx1f7

It is finally here pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…! Our latest story on the main architect of Coxiella Containing Vacuoles: one crazy effector that makes giant vacuoles in cells! Congrats to arthur bienvenu, Mélanie Burette & Martinez Eric for their effort and to Dr. Stacey Gilk & MURIAUX Delphine
