The new centrifuge is highly motivated. Should I be too?

When you are out of straws but you still got some fermentation equipment at home xD

Nice little exhibition at the Biozentrum by @fabi_est_ and Alexander Harms Always surprising to see how diverse Bacteriophages are.

Some people like flowers, I like molds.

Bacteria screaming (there's sound) during their daily torture.

Congratulations to Miro (Miro Plum), Christy (Christy Cheung), Patricia and others on a beautiful paper showing #T6SS role in spreading of Burkholderia thailandensis between infected cells: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S19…

Snapshot of infection of host cells by Burkholderia thailandensis (white). The pathogen polymerizes actin (green) to move from one host cell to another and breaks the membranes (magenta) by its Type VI Secretion System #T6SS. youtu.be/gqULa2--QUI

Researchers @Biozentrum University of Basel have uncovered a unique tactic certain bacteria use to spread in the body without being detected by the immune system. The bacteria use a kind of nano-sized harpoon. Basler Lab unibas.ch/en/News-Events…

(1/6) Really jazzed to have this out - my first Wellcome fellowship paper! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Can bacteria evolve resistance to competitors' T6SS weaponry? We find that the answer depends on **how many toxins** competitors are using. A thread:

Here is our new landmark paper on P. aeruginosa evolution in human lung organoids under antibiotic exposure. Congrats to Lucas A. Meirelles and thanks to Evangelia Vayena and the real LCSB for the beautiful metabolic modeling. nature.com/articles/s4156…

🚨🔬Excited to share our new paper now out in Nature Microbiology! Using Tn-seq + live imaging in engineered airway organoids, we explored the fitness tradeoffs P. aeruginosa faces while growing and surviving antibiotic treatment on the mucosal surface. 🔗 rdcu.be/dX4RR

Out now bioRxiv Microbiology, one of the main publications of my postdoc Basler Lab 🥳 more on this soon 😁

The lab's latest NINJ1 story is out on bioRxiv 🥳 Ninjurin-1 mediated plasma membrane rupture is a two-step process requiring cell swelling biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
