Group Photo from the 3rd Gordon Research Conferences on Streptococcal Biology. Proud to have launched this series in 2018 with Nina van Sorge Doran Lab S Sriskandan and this year’s version was expertly led by Jan-Willem Veening and Mike Federle. #Strep Research going strong—see everyone again in 2026!

Very happy to see the “optoscillator” - a synthetic optogenetic oscillator - published! By applying light pulses on growing E. coli colonies and analysing the ring patterns, we observed synchronisation, (subharmonic) resonance, period doubling and chaos! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Check out the brand new interdisciplinary EMBO | EMBL Symposium on Drug Resistance & Tolerance across organisms: Finding parallel concepts, mechanisms, and strategies despite different terminology EMBL Heidelberg on 18-21 Mar 25! #EESDrugResistance Link: s.embl.org/ees25-01

One year ago we started a new experiment in the lab - not a scientific one, but a social one! We now use the 'flashlight' 🔦 at the start of every lab meeting ⏬ Its been great to hear from so many people who love it too - maybe try it out for your lab? nature.com/articles/d4158…

Still hard to believe that I am one of the lucky ones who obtained an ERC Starting Grant!🤩 Looking forward to our REalCYCLE project where we will investigate the S. pneumoniae cell cycle. Thank you European Research Council (ERC), UCLouvain, de Duve Institute, F.R.S.-FNRS, and many more!! #ERCStG

Very happy to share our latest preprint DMF UNIL: Amazing Astri Kusumawardhani engineered inducible phagemid transfer for CRISPR-based gene regulation and computation in multicellular E. coli consortia.

Exciting news 🤩: Our article on the impact of DNA methylation in Agrobacteriumis now out in the NAR journal. academic.oup.com/nar/article/do…

Motto of our lab 😅
