This sounds like a trivial observation and it isn’t: No organization which makes its people pay for coffee wants to win.

Big thanks to the European Research Council (ERC) for supporting my project #PTMtalk! Exciting times ahead for our team IBFG! #yeast 🥳 #ERCStG

Our Structural and Computational Biology Unit is renamed to Molecular Systems Biology Unit. Co-Leads Julia Mahamid and Nassos Typas share their vision for the unit’s research directions and opportunities. embl.org/news/people-pe…

We are excited to share our new study led by @SarSarela (now GL ITQB NOVA) & Michael Kuhn! By comparing the effects of 30 drugs on a 32-species synthetic community and community members in isolation, communal behaviors emerged in 26% of all cases! Link: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Amazing new bacterial predatory mechanism. Congratulations to the Pilhofer lab and thanks for making us part of this study. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Important finding by @KerrinSteensen that non-tailed and filamentous prophages dominate over tailed prophages in Vibrio when using unbiased predictions. Lots of interesting biology uncovered as well. academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

We're ready for EMBO Fellows Meeting!✨ #EMBOat60

Excited to share our study led by Nazgul Sakenova 🇰🇿! We used chemical genetics to identify and understand cross-resistance & collateral-sensitivity (CS) between antibiotics and reduced AMR development with CS drug pairs EMBL with Camille Goemans EPFL nature.com/articles/s4156…

You want to learn about microbiology from a fantastic lineup of speakers on a beautiful Greek island? PhD students apply now for the EMBO | FEBS Lecture Course The New Microbiology! Registration: 1 Apr 2025 Course: 03 – 11 Sep 2025 | Spetses, Greece meetings.embo.org/event/25-new-m…

This year’s topics include bacterial diversity and evolution, microbial communities and microbiota, predation and symbiosis, biofilms, host-pathogen interactions, phage biology, bacterial biophysics, and cryoelectron tomography.

Welcome Alexandra Koumoutsi! The new Head of the Microbial Automation and Culturomics Core Facility at EMBL discusses her career, her goals for the facility, and her early inspirations. embl.org/news/people-pe…

Excited to share our preprint with Savitski Lab led by Tara Bartolec, Karin Mitosch & Clément Potel! We uncovered a mechanism by which the T7 phage broadly counteracts DNA-targeting bacterial defenses by deploying a loose cannon kinase in its genome. EMBL biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint - our latest close collaboration with Typas Lab EMBL on phage-host interactions, led by Tara Bartolec, Karin Mitosch and Clément Potel. Mass spec revealed entirely unexpected, widespread proteome modification by a single phage protein kinase! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/11 - With Karin Mitosch and Clément Potel + colleagues in Savitski Lab Typas Lab EMBL, I’m very happy to share our discovery of a hyper-promiscuous phage protein kinase (T7K) which broadly deactivates bacterial defenses! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🤝A warm welcome to #Microbiologist Prof. Dr. Sarela García-Santamarina. She is adding a new facet to the Universität Jena and Leibniz-HKI research profile with the newly founded Deep Microbiome Metabolomics department.👩‍🔬🦠
