Our paper is out today in nature! Imagine getting this plot when studying single-cell data of growing bacteria! Could it be the cell cycle?! We found that a gene’s response to its replication reveals gene regulation on a genomic scale. nature.com/articles/s4158… Andrew Pountain

In our article published today nature , we report complete all-atom structural models of a fully packaged bacteriophage particle. Congratulations to Kush Coshic on his first publication! Many thanks to Chris Maffeo and David Winogradoff for pushing this 6-year project forward.

Is biology predictable? This is a hard problem, relevant across scales, from conservation to the human microbiome.

Cool work on E. coli transcription factors! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our big story on the importance of "stripy" T cells in antigen response, which started as a MSc Thesis 6 years ago, has finally made its way out in Science Magazine! 🤩 Massive congrats to Ben Hale & thanks to all collaborators particularly Oxenius Lab & Blutspende SRK Schweiz 🥰

The Pangenome of Escherichia coli biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today in Science Magazine, we report how a bacteria has evolved into a major human pathogen over the last 200 years. Read on, this is going to be an adventurous ride 1/n! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I’m excited to announce that I’ll join VIB-KU Leuven as a professor starting 2025. My lab will study how marine microbes capture CO2 and sequester it in ancient ocean molecules, taking an approach that combines microbiology, high throughput metabolomics and biochemistry.

Super excited to announce that I obtained an Swiss National Science Foundation Ambizione grant to start as a junior group leader at IMSB_ETH at ETH Zürich! 🥳 We will study transcription regulatory networks in bacterial pathogens 🧬 Will soon advertise positions for a PhD student and Master projects!

My lab is searching for a postdoc in microbiology/microbial metabolomics! Are you a biologist who is secretly realizing you might be a mass spec nerd? If so, I can relate and I'd love to work with you! Please check out more details here: jobso.id/j6x1

I'm hiring another postdoc for my starting lab at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology to study microbial carbon fixation! We'll be deriving how enzymes in marine microbes inadvertently form stable molecules that are sequestered long term in the ocean. jobs.vib.be/j/93444/postdo…

I’m thrilled to share that our paper “Machine-guided design of cell-type-targeting cis-regulatory elements” was published online in nature. nature.com/articles/s4158… #genomics #MachineLearning #SyntheticBiology #bioengineering 1/9

I have an open Postdoc position in Molecular Systems Biology at ETH Zürich! The project is about the conservation of transcription factors functions between strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 🧬🦠 More details and application at: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_… Please share!

We are very excited to share new recent research from our lab! This has been a long-time effort, involving several fantastic group members and collaborators (Pedro Beltrao and @Jürgen) with Laurentz Schuhknecht on the driving sit.

We are searching for a postdoc in Marine Phytoplankton Metabolism and Carbon Storage! You'll get the chance to combine high-throughput metabolomics and enzymes to study how microbes naturally sequester atmospheric carbon in dissolved organic molecules! jobso.id/m9nq
