nature.com/articles/s4158… Another phage inhibition system (Zorya) that does not cause cell death or what has been termed 'abortive infection'. Congratulations to the authors for discerning the lovely mechanism of detecting phage disruption of the cell envelope then DNase activity.

Excited to share our latest collab with Wenyuan Han's Lab! 🚨 Bacteria use dITP as an immune signal to activate NAD+-depleting effectors. Phages counter immunity by destroying dAMP (dITP precursor)! 💥🧬 Preprint 🔗: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A prospective PhD student should look for a kind and understanding mentor, not necessarily the most brilliant one or someone working at a prestigious institution. A kind mentor will focus on your progress and work to uplift you.

A widespread family of viral sponge proteins reveals specific inhibition of nucleotide signals in anti-phage defense biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

True, my best Phd students were not CSIR/DBT/Inspire JRF fellows. Indeed, we lose the best before we even assess them.

Top 4 things to know about doing science: 1. You need to have someone you can talk to 2. One-on-one discussions are the best 3. Think about discussions as improvisations and use the ‘yes, and’ rule 4. Create a safe space so both of you feel open to saying seemingly silly things

Our paper out Cell: Structure-guided discovery of viral proteins that inhibit host immunity Congrats Erez Tzvi Yirmiya, Azita Leavitt, Gil Amitai 🎗️ 🇮🇱🎗️, our collaborators @ Kranzusch lab, and coauthors A 🧵 1/10 cell.com/cell/abstract/…

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…

बिहार में तीन लैंग्वेज पॉलिसी कमाल की है, हर सीबीएसई और आईसीएससी स्कूल में हिंदी - संस्कृत - अंग्रेजी अनिवार्य है लेकिन बिहार में ही बिहार की कोई भाषा दूर दूर तक पढ़ाई नहीं जाती है इन स्कूलों में । फिर आप सोचते हैं की बिहार का विकास क्यों नहीं हो रहा है । 😄😃

Very excited to invite all #phage #protein enthusiasts to The Phage Protein Meeting taking place on September 10-11, 2025 in #Ghent Belgium, an interdisciplinary conference dedicated to advancing the field of phage proteins for infection control. phageproteinmeeting.ugent.be

Age cannot be a criterion of eligibility for a student aspiring to do a PhD. Absolutely cannot. Only merit should matter.

And here it is, the completed BASEL collection finally published as early access in PLOS Biology - see the thread for more details. 🤗🧬🎣

It’’s May 1st. Labour Day in India. The house help came. The cook showed up. The apartment security gaurd & housekeeping staff is on duty. Only me and my laptop class friends taking a break to “celebrate labour.” Irony is now a public holiday.

Super exciting 🥳 First review as first correspondence author during my PhD. Many thanks to my PI Yotam Bar-On Lab for his consistent guidance and support. Thank you European Journal of Immunology for this wonderful opportunity

If you preserve your mother tongue, you can bring these positive change and boost a lot of things like, 1. Local Economy – Boosts demand for local content. 2. Cultural Identity – Preserves unique traditions and values. 3. Education – Improves learning and understanding. 4. Job

Our latest story is now online nature! We discovered a phage defense system that deploys kilobase-long DNA homopolymers to protect against viral infection. Congratulations to all authors, and to the Wiedenheft Lab for a fun and fruitful collaboration! nature.com/articles/s4158…

New pre-print(s) from the Sternberg Lab in collaboration with Leifu Chang! We uncover an unprecedented molecular mechanism of CRISPR-Cas12f-like proteins, which drive RNA-guided transcription independently of canonical promoter motifs. Full story here: tinyurl.com/mr3fd493
