A nice article with video by Universität Wien 🇦🇹 about our research in microbial biochemistry 🦠⚗️🧪with some personal touch👨🏻‍🔬: rudolphina.univie.ac.at/en/thomas-boet…

My personal opinion: better having high precision techniques than relying on mutation breeding (counts as non GMO) to obtain the same results just slower and with entirely unknown effects on the rest of the genome. So European Parliament say yes to #NGTs.

The Vienna Doctoral School in #Chemistry (DoSChem) of Universität Wien offers 17 fully funded #PhD positions, the call is open now until 14 April. Spread the word and apply here: ⤵ doschem.univie.ac.at/application/ (c) 📷 DoSChem #univie

How the oxford comma matters in science: I have been invited to publish our next work in Nature Cell and Science 🤪🙄🤡 I have been invited to publish our next work in Nature, Cell, and Science 🤩🏆😍

Seeking a PhD between Chemistry and Biology? There is an interesting opportunity for future PhD students in the direction bioactive small molecules in a highly interdisciplinary collaboration with the Gruene and Pjevac groups Universität Wien with our lab: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/University…

I much applaude the European Research Council (ERC) for the new "lump sum" model, which in my opinion is the right move away from burreaucracy and I hope other research organizations will follow their example. Science needs freedom and trust and not restrictive nit-picky burreaucratic control.

Politics is just like microbial ecology: if you leave a niche unoccupied, some other potential pathogenic species will fill in. If you don't address problems and fears of voters within the democratic spectrum potential undemocratic parties will fill in the void and get voted.

Our study on drug-gut microbiome interactions is out! 🦠💊 Nature Microbiology We show that the #Parkinson's drug entacapone induces iron deficiency in microbes, leading to selective inhibition of microbial activity. Check the full story here: rdcu.be/d0ZAQ

A wonderful collaboration work led by Fatima Pereira with Michael Wagner @DOME_Vienna @JMF_Vienna Rasmus Kirkegaard Biological Sciences with David Szamosvari from our lab on a Parkinson's drug affecting our gut microbiome is now published in Nature Microbiology

Our paper is now out in ACS Chem Biol! Here we discovered a new quinolone producer-Chitinivorax tropicus. I’m also very excited that our artwork was selected for the cover. I had a lot of fun creating it :) Huge thanks to our collaborators! University of Vienna STEM doi.org/10.1021/acsche…
