1/14 Excited to share our new ElinavLab Microbiome & Cancer Elinav Lab at DKFZ Weizmann Institute paper Cell, championed (for 6 years!) by the amazing Rafael Valdés, Avner Leshem, Danping Zheng and twitter-less Alon Savidor. In this work, we’ve adopted into microbiome.. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Thank you National Academy of Sciences 🙏 It is an immense honor to be included in the same list as the giants in microbiology who received the Selman A. Waksman Award

We just posted a new preprint where we found retrons in bacteria out in the real world, in dirt and water. We describe the first retrons in a handful of new species, show how they defend against phages, and use them to edit genomes. Read about it here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now published Science Magazine: TIR signaling activates caspase-like immunity in bacteria We report a new immune molecule: N7-cADPR. Produced by phage-induced TIRs and activates a defensive bacterial caspase Congrats @FrancoisRousset & Ilya Osterman! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congrats our very own Systems_Immunology_WIS member PI Tanita Wein for the impressive new paper nature together with Sorek Lab- Shedding yet another piece of the (inflammasome-related) origins of immunology in bacteria!! Proud of you Tana and team! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Another cADPR isomer involved in bacterial immunity has been discovered. For me, N7 was the least expected position; I was sure it would be N3, but no... So, there are two more positions for cyclization that should be discovered: N3 and -NH2. More Thoeris systems are waiting! :)

🗓️Tomorrow! Ariel Cohen, VP Development Projects will present "The Challenges & Opportunities of the Development Pathway for Phage Therapy" 🦠at the Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Conference 2025, join virtually 14:35 CET! Register👉 bsac.eventsair.com/antimicrobial-… #PhageTherapy #Antibiotics

Excited to share our latest on the Type II Thoeris system! In collaboration with the Sorek and Kranzusch labs, we identify His-ADPR as a signaling molecule. Huge thanks to all involved—amazing teamwork! nature.com/articles/s4158…
