The Barber lab is looking to hire post-docs to work on #tuberculosis #immunology using murine and NHP models. BSL3 experience not required. Check out our lab in the NIH intramural program in Bethesda MD!

A great meeting ahead for host and pathogen aficionados! Keynote speakers: Florence Niedergang (Cochin) and Raphael Valdivia (Duke)- plenty of opportunities for early career researchers to present their work and a very collegial and supportive network. Belfast here we go! Please repost.

Nothing like a good meal with an even better team. Here’s to a bright, productive 2026! 🤩 @mcaouaille.bsky.social @saurabhchugh09.bsky.social @vogeleerp.bsky.social @yoannrombouts.bsky.social & more!

Two pieces of fun news: 1. We've launched a new website for our lab: www.brysonlab.org 2. With some new funding, we are recruiting for new postdocs and graduate students. The projects build upon our previous studies of antigen presentation and phagosome biology and go into new exciting dimensions!

🚨 We are excited to announce that @virginiestevenin.bsky.social has been awarded a starting grant from the @frm-officiel.bsky.social to establish her research team at IPBS and study the nutrition of pathogenic bacteria inside human host cells. More info: shorturl.at/U6zSa #MicroSky #Salmonella

A big thank-you to @sheetalgandotra.bsky.social & @vivekrao.bsky.social and everyone at CSIR-IGIB for their warm welcome! 😊 What a wonderful day with incredibly friendly hosts and such brilliant, motivated students! 🇫🇷🇮🇳 Long live Franco-Indian cooperation!

Hey friends. I’m looking for a postdoc interested in studying host-pathogen interactions and immunology of tuberculosis. Send me some good people! We have a great group here! Email me [email protected]. Thanks!

IPBS researchers created LiveLung-TB, a BSL-3 imaging platform that visualizes real-time immune responses in Mtb-infected lungs. They found most CD4 T cells fail to reach infected cells, revealing physical barriers that limit TB immunity—a new window into host-pathogen dynamics! 🔬🫁 #Tuberculosis

Why would Mycobacterium shed its surface right after entering a host cell? Host phagocytes rapidly strip its outer layer, releasing components that alert neighbors and trigger defense responses Our preprint is out, curious to hear your take! 👀 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Two M. tuberculosis RelE toxins don’t cut mRNA, they slice 16S rRNA itself, shutting down translation in a totally unexpected way, new study reveals. A big leap in understanding TB’s survival tricks and new angles for therapies. 📖 shorturl.at/Z8MVX ✍️ @genevauxpierre.bsky.social & coll. #MicroSky

👏👏👏 So proud of our co-PI! This well-deserved recognition honors Luciana’s outstanding scientific contributions, her dedication to mentoring, and her support for young women in research. Please join me in congratulating her on this incredible achievement!

👏👏👏 Ophélie Dufrançais, @chrisverollet.bsky.social et leurs collègues ! Un travail soutenu par @frm-officiel.bsky.social et @agencerecherche.bsky.social et réalisé en collaboration avec @lp2mlab.bsky.social et @embl.org, entre autres.

Des chercheurs de l’IPBS (@chrisverollet.bsky.social et coll.) ont découvert que la protéine moésine régule les ostéoclastes, les cellules qui résorbent l’os. Sans elle, les os s’affaiblissent. Une piste prometteuse contre l’ #ostéoporose. 📘 @jcb.org shorturl.at/OhNSa

Too much cell fusion can break your bones, literally! IPBS researchers @chrisverollet.bsky.social & coll. found that moesin keeps bone-resorbing cells (osteoclasts) in check. Without it, bones weaken, a discovery that could inspire new #osteoporosis treatments. 📘 @jcb.org shorturl.at/N0Esc
