Very happy to share #BactMAP with the world! A fantastic R-package made by @vrrenske that allows quantitative analysis and visualization of bacterial microscopy data coming out of any of your favorite software (e.g. Oufti, MicrobeJ, Supersegger, etc) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Lab BBQ with surprise 10 years pneumoversary t-shirts! Best team ever! #VeeningLab

Nice ending of fantastic joint lab meeting with Grangeasse Team with a hike and wine tasting in the Laveaux

One of the #Staphylococcus #FtsZ movies (S2) from our collaboration with the @FreesLab now online PLOS Pathogens journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…, made by @ClementGallay, also features on our website (desktop version) veeninglab.com

Check out our latest preprint! Dimitra Synefiaridou made an easy to use system to perform multiple rounds of genome editing in #pneumococcus by putting the CRISPR-Cas9 system on a temperature-sensitive replicative plasmid. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Paddy Gibson from Jan-Willem Veening on deciphering the origins of amoxicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae through genomic recombination #Griffith2020

For those interested in pneumococcal cell biology, Friday we have the PhD defense of @ClementGallay 14:30h (GMT+2) and of @vrrenske 16:15h. With opposition from @BramkampLab @Gruber_Lausanne Sonja Billerbeck Patrick Viollier @DirkScheffers Morten Kjos Livestream: rug.nl/digitalphd

Our preprint from finally made it to Nature Communications A combined effort by Philipp Engel @Ge_BoRo Vishwachi Tripathi in collaboration with CHUV / Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois Ben Marsland and the absolutely fantastic collaborator Dr. Eric Bernasconi. Here's the thread. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Special thanks to the Dean’s Office of FBM of Université de Lausanne for awarding us for our assistance in teaching practicals during the pandemic. This is the award:

New paper about my favorite bee gut bacterium out in bioRxiv. PhD student Konstantin Schmidt showed that the DNA-binding protein IHF regulates colonization factors of Frischella perrara. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Great collaboration with Stefan Leopold-Messer from Piel Lab.

New and improved! Check out the latest version of our preprint 🥳

🥳🥳

Great to finally use the skills I learnt at PoreCamp Vancouver 2018! Not bad for a first go

New and improved version finally online! Big thanks to Jan-Willem Veening and Lauren Cowley for all their help getting this baby wrapped up 🥳

Check this cool new barn owl behaviour from @PBecciu at the Roulin Lab!

#Bermuda Audubon Soc FB-post is in line with our results tinyurl.com/yesjr89kTropic… observation dates have advanced over the past 70 years: arrival time has been likely shifting of ca. 20–25 days. We encourage local birdwatchers to use eBird @PBecciu eBird

Save the date! Thursday the 14th of June, starting at 17:15h in the Biophore building Université de Lausanne I will be giving my inaugural lecture followed by an apéro. All are welcome!

We are hiring 2 PhD students to strengthen our team on an European Research Council (ERC) funded project in which we will use genetics, genomics & microscopy to understand how the pneumococcus becomes dangerous. Deadline 30 June. Apply here bit.ly/2KoMIIP
