Very excited to share our paper on outer membrane assembly which includes the first cryoEM structures of BAM-SurA complexes. A great team effort with Jim Horne Joel Crossley Anton Calabrese RadfordLab Neil Ranson nature.com/articles/s4146…

Now out: An outer membrane porin-lipoprotein complex modulates elongasome movement to establish cell curvature in Rhodospirillum rubrum rdcu.be/dSHtx A great collaboration with @BramkampLab, Vollmer lab, Johann Heider, Timo Glatter, Eli Cohen and Volker Kleeberg.

[Job Alert] @LiselotDW Dewachter is hiring motivated candidate to develop her team. Position available: Lab technician cdn.sanity.io/files/b98ocrnx… More info on the research group: deduveinstitute.be/research-group…

Point of View: Applied research won’t flourish without basic science doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Our latest work is now out Nature Communications: Control of bacterial cell wall autolysins by peptidoglycan crosslinking mode nature.com/articles/s4146… Another great collaboration with the Doerr Lab CavaLab MIMS - Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden Umeå universitet KAW SciLifeLab Umeå Centre for Microbial Research

I am happy to share with you our last work on lipoprotein transport in Bacteroidetes! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Calling all Bacterial Cell Wall enthusiasts look whats coming... September 2025 Sicily just sayin... thegreatwall-symposium.org (please RT)

Thrilled to share that my PhD work is now on bioRxiv! We show that bacterial growth in confined spaces generates large forces, to which bacteria adapt in a 3-step process. More info 👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Excited to present this work at #SFMCongress in 2 weeks!

Great conference in Marseille! ⛵ Many thanks to all the organizers and participants for this wonderful moment!

Watch how BAM and SurA fold proteins! Our cryoEM structures brought to life in this awesome animation by Phospho! Read about it in our paper published last month nature.com/articles/s4146… RadfordLab Neil Ranson

Excited to share that our paper is now out in ⁦Nature Microbiology! We characterize a positive mechanism for Z ring placement in S. aureus governed by the proteins PcdA/DivIVA, and its implication during infection in a mouse model nature.com/articles/s4156…

We are very excited to announce our latest work on how MRSA conquers antibiotics. We show that high-level resistance to methicillin requires S. aureus to utilise an alternative mode of cell division to ensure its survival! Sheffield AFM Group Abimbola_Olulana doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

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…

Happy to share our first preprint !! Identification of receptor-binding domains of Bacteroidales antibacterial pore-forming toxins biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In #JBacteriology, researchers broadly discuss lipoprotein biosynthesis and trafficking, and ponder why the newest outer membrane (OM) assembly system (lipoprotein trafficking) has become so key to building the Proteobacterial OM. Read the review: asm.social/2f6

Our lab is recruiting postdocs with strong expertise in molecular microbiology and/or phage biology to work on different antibiotics-related projects (more info epfl.ch/labs/upgoemans/). Please get in touch if interested (with CV and references)!

New preprint 🚨: with Mariusz Madej we found that the Bacteroidetes beta-barrel assembly machinery is quite different to E. coli. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #cryoEM

Beta-lactams covalently bind to Penicillin Binding Proteins and have been the mainstay of antimicrobial chemotherapy for decades. In this new paper with colleagues Bicycle Therapeutics we show a new way to hit old targets: rdcu.be/eoaRI
