✨A big thank you to Giulia Manina for the kind invitation to @pasteur.fr Paris 🙏 I had a wonderful time, met many inspiring people 🌍 and enjoyed truly engaging conversations. 🧪 Grateful for the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas in such a remarkable place! 🌟

Excited to share Wendy Le Mouëllic’s PhD work, now published in @pnas.org! It reveals that M. tuberculosis depends on inorganic sulfate import to survive inside host cells—fueling essential processes such as redox balance and stress resistance. Huge congrats to Wendy & colleagues! shorturl.at/WbFQC

🙏 Big thanks to the #Max_von_Pettenkofer_Institute in Munich for a great visit! I met amazing people & had wonderful conversations! Special thanks to Christine Josenhans for the invite. 🎇 Bonus: ran into Marie-Helene, a retired microbiology prof from Paris, right outside the institute. 🧪#MicroSky
