Another fantastic SPP 2330 meeting! Thank you all for three inspiring days of science, collaboration, and novel ideas. See you next year at our international symposium in Berlin, October 5–7, 2026! @dfg.de @fz-juelich.de @hhu.de

Kicking off the final day of this year’s SPP 2330 Meeting with a fantastic talk by Matthias Fischer on Virophages: Guardians, Parasites, and Architects of Eukaryotic Genome!

Very interesting talk by our invited speaker @patrick-pausch.bsky.social on how retron Eco 2 breaks tRNAs for antiphage defense!

Katharina presented at the annual @spp2330.bsky.social meeting in Rösrath (North Rhine-Westphalia):

Amazing talk by Joana Azeredo on how to target chronic biofilm infections using phage therapy.

Career & Industry session at the SPP 2330 Meeting with amazing talks from Birhanu Kinfu @biontech.bsky.social and @brochadolab.bsky.social. Both shared insights into their personal career paths, which were truly inspiring for our early-career scientists.

Clara Rolland on recent developments of the SPP 2330 Z-project! @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social @dsmzd3.bsky.social

Looking forward to 3 exciting days of science at the 2025 annual SPP2330 symposium! @spp2330.bsky.social @dfg.de

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

Final presentation of our SPP 2330 “Going Viral” course! Over the past year, we introduced high school students from Aachen to the world of phage research, giving them the unique opportunity to explore real scientific topics and contribute to ongoing phage research. @fz-juelich.de @dfg.de

Huge congratulations to our former SPP member @pozhydaieva.bsky.social for winning the MarBiNa prize! You are a great inspiration for our young scientists!

Absolutely honored to receive this year’s MarBiNa Prize! Huge thanks to the IBiNa committee, my incredible PhD mentor @hoeferlab.bsky.social, and the entire Höfer team. Big thanks to @spp2330.bsky.social & IMPRS-Mic, of which I was a part. Grateful to everyone who shared this special moment with me!

Andreas Peschel @andreaspeschel.bsky.social · last yr.

Matching phages to cognate host bacteria has remained merely empirical. We describe a new tool predicting the host range of #S.aureus-specific phages, based on phage receptor binding protein sequences, which will become helpful for #phage-therapy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🧬 Save the date! The EMBO Workshop "The Immune System of Bacteria" will uncover groundbreaking insights into bacterial defense systems. Join us April 8-10, 2025, at Institut Pasteur, Paris. Submit your abstracts by Feb. 28 👉 https://www.sisb2025.conferences-pasteur.org/home

Congratulations @maiktungsten.bsky.social for receiving the Friedrich Hirzebruch PhD prize!!!
