🇫🇷 #TDF2023 Veni Vidi 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐚𝐫𝐝! Oh my, we just won our second Tour de France. 🥹💛

Wauw! #Vingegaard did it again! First Dane to win the #TourDeFrance twice! He is so amazing 💛 I am so happy - congratulations 💛

In my "Building a Synthetic Cell" course we formally review BioRxiv preprints. This is the 3rd time my students get acknowledged in the final published paper in as many years I've taught this class! Highly recommend. The students love it! nature.com/articles/s4146…

It’s official- contract signed!!!! I’m very excited to start comp math dept at MPI-CBG Dresden and Center for Systems Biology Dresden (and remain part time Oxford Mathematics). Apply by 25 Sept for Independent ELBE postdoc fellowships at intersection of physics/cs/math and bio!!! Join us and visit us in Dresden 😁

Jovana Kaljevic last story on the #ParABS system and the unique behaviour of #ParB during the #Bdellovibrio cell cycle is now alive at #PLOSGenetics! We love the revised version (thanks to the 3 super reviewers & great editorial advice). Read it here: dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Thanks to Akos for tweeting faster than me. We are thrilled about this mechanism.

Ever looked for interaction partners of your favorite protein? We often have and were often unsuccessful. But then we tried MiniTurbo-based biotin proximity labeling and it works like a dream. See doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro… for Franzi’s, Marco’s & Timo’s fantastic protocol.

New bioRxiv Microbiology preprint from the Vecchiarelli lab! Congrats Joe Basalla ! MCDB Michigan biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Pleased to share our recent work on #T2SS. Congratulations to all the authors! Membrane platform protein PulF of the Klebsiella type II secretion system forms a trimeric ion channel essential for endopilus assembly and protein secretion | mBio journals.asm.org/eprint/CI2MBXC…

Published today 🥳 rdcu.be/du9VF An amazing collaboration and monumental amount of work from a great team. Big thanks and Congratulations to everyone involved!

Excited to share our work on the most rigid and strongest type IVa pilus yet described, which is now online: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…. Great collaboration with Edward H. Egelman and Yves F. Dufrêne Anke Treuner-Lange Lotte Søgaard-Andersen @PNAS

The structure is beautiful & amazing

Ever wondered how phenotypic heterogeneity is kept to a minimum in bacteria? We provide an answer by showing that c-di-GMP made during division ensures phenotypically similar daughters. Wonderful coll Jenal_lab & fantastic work by Maria & MarcoHerfurth rdcu.be/dN5Vf
