📢 We are hiring 📢 1st round of recruiting for our ERC project BacImmune-Decode! @erc.europa.eu We are looking for a postdoc for wet-lab work on regulation of phage defence systems in bacteria using high-throughput microbial genetics. Check it out: lnkd.in/es7AE968 #Hiring #Postdoc #Microbiology

I couldn’t be happier or more flattered to receive an ERC-CoG. I’m grateful for this opportunity and excited to take the next steps in our research! Recruiting early next year! Reach out if you want find out how to use bacterial immunity to tackle infections! @erc.europa.eu @unituebingen.bsky.social

🎉 Congrats to @brochadolab.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social on a €2M ERC Consolidator Grant for BacImmune-Decode, advancing our understanding of bacterial immunity to fight infections + AMR!! More: www.cmfi.uni-tuebingen.de/en/news-even... @erc.europa.eu #ERC #AMR #Microbiology #ScienceNews

Please RT: We have an opening for a junior group leader position in „Phage Biology & Biotechnology“. www.fz-juelich.de/de/karriere/... Interested candidates are encouraged to contact me via email for further details. @spp2330.bsky.social; @mibinet.bsky.social

How are bacterial transport machineries regulated by external cues? @brochadolab.bsky.social &co identify environmental chemicals that regulate #transporter transcription, identifying the TF Rob as a key modulator of #EffluxPump expression in #Ecoli #AMR @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46pUM9Q

Finally out! A small screen helps understand a little more about how E. coli regulates major transporters, and reveals how caffeine induces phenotypical antibiotic resistance. Huge thanks to collab @andrenmateus.bsky.social (Umeå) and Christian L. Müller (Munich)! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Systematic screen uncovers regulator contributions to chemical cues in Escherichia coli

Transport machineries are crucial for antibiotic resistance, but their regulation by external cues is poorly understood. This study identifies environmental chemicals that regulate transporter transcr...

EMBL will coordinate the MSCA Doctoral Network – Exploring Novel Drivers of Anti-Microbial Resistance (ENDAMR). 🦠 The network will fund 10 PhD positions, providing training to better equip researchers in Europe to develop new strategies for tackling antimicrobial resistance.

The ENDAMR Supervisory Board held its kick-off meeting at EMBL Heidelberg, where they reviewed scientific and strategic plans. 👉 Stay up-to-date on ENDAMR network-wide opportunities here: endamr.eu #MSCA #DoctoralNetwork #AntimicrobialResistance #ENDAMR #ResearchTraining

Brochado and Maier labs in Germany are looking for a PhD student to study horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. ENDAMR Marie Curie doctoral network (endamr.eu) - an amazing opportunity to work with top scientists in the field all around Europe! www.cmfi.uni-tuebingen.de/mariecuriephd

Can a phage defence system interfere with antibiotic action? 💊 Yes, it can! CBASS is triggered by antifolates and turns these mostly bacteriostatic drugs into bactericidal ones in bugs like V. cholerae. 🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41564-023-01556-y Read full here: rdcu.be/du20r

High-throughput growth assays show that cyclic-oligonucleotide-based anti-phage signalling systems modulate Vibrio cholerae sensitivity to antifolates, and ultimately trigger cell lysis by these drugs...
